If you pick up a 2-day GS over the 28-29, the days off (in this case your pre-existing PB days) need to be moved to your next RES days. By precedent, the PB day formula, however, will require that the PR be converted to a full PB day.

The PB day formula begins to be applied after the PR-to-PB conversion. You would then have this under our pretend schedule:

28: GS Day 1/2
29: GS Day 2/2
30: PB (converted from PR)
31: PB
32: PB
33: see below

Because your trip blocked in after 1500L, and because the PB day formula adds 9 hours to the end of your trip release before applying PB days, you would be owed a partial payback day (PR) that ends at 0100L, such that your schedule would then look like this:

28: GS Day 1
29: GS Day 2
30: PB (converted from PR)
31: PB
32: PB
33: PR (ending 0100L)

Now, because dates 31, 32, and 33 do not exist in the calendar, whatever is earned on those days should be banked. And since we don’t bank partial payback days, the PR on the “33rd” in my example gets converted to a PB. You are owed 3 PBs as a result.

Ironically I am in the exact same situation, and my Crew Assist case has been under review since this trip ended. Thus far, I have only been given 2 PBs in the bank.
