It doesn't quite work that way. If you have enough PB days in the bank to cover the entire trip being dropped, then that many days will be used and you are paid for the entire trip. If you have fewer PB days than the length of the trip, then the PB days are applied to the first portion of the trip, and that is the portion for which you are paid.
