Any legs of the reroute that couldn't be so built were a legal reroute, but got zero reroute pay, any legs that could be built into a rotation, but were "attached" to the previous rerouted legs were still a legal reroute under L4, but got the reroute pay. It would come down as to when the first leg(s) became open. In a same day reroute scenario, lets say you departed, and they changed a middle turn and put you back on your rotation, none of the rerouted legs would pay any reroute pay because they couldn't build any of it into a rotation meeting the above parameters. Under the new rules, they would.

This scenario is really, really tough to do in a single day reroute, and considering you weren't getting any reroute pay for the first leg(s). Even if you could tease out a fringe case, it's probably a wash considering usually the first legs of a L4 Note reroute don't get reroute pay but under the new rules everything gets 50% pay for the first day.
