Will PBS award a bid for two pairings that, if combined into a single pairing would be legal, but as two separate pairings would not be legal (not enough rest between)?

For example: 2-day trip blocks in at 1000L after a 0730 report to a one-leg duty period; 3-day trip checks-in at 1200L for a one-leg duty period blocking in 1500L. Obviously <10 hours between them (1030 - 1200 = 1.5 hours), so not legal rest. However, plenty of 4-day trips have a 3-hour sit in between two legs for an 8-hour duty day, as this would be if you put the two trips together. Will PBS allow this (in effect "building" a 4-day out of a 2+3 day), or would one or the other trip be denied for legal rest once the first trip is added?
