Given the current low R day values, you can indeed knock out a whole month of reserve. Whatever number of days you extend to will be removed from your reserve obligation, whether in one long block or not. If you extend to less than 14 days (your reserve for next month,) they will give you r days on days your line had reserve scheduled, unless they conflict with your actual vacation award (original or slide.) If they have to put them on days you had scheduled free but not on vacation, they will. There is a place to put your "preferences" for your reconstructed reserve line.
That being said, if you do extend to 14 days using the CBA formula, you're done for the month. One of the few upsides to lower RLGs.
