The bolded part is not accurate, though a common misconception. You can create create more x-days blocks than PBS awards, it's just not always easy. I agree that it's ridiculous we can't move from the middle of an x-day block, it just doesn't make sense. It will take a few PCS's for mataron to make it happen, but if the coverage allows, they could make it happen by walking reserve days (or x-days, however you view it) to the days he wants.
