No one has answered this yet.

I've done this, with a few extents to spare.

Almost, but is it possible to include either of these two in such 
extents?

Montgomeryshire Place: 5.4.2.23.5 le23
Cathedral Place: 34.4.2.1.5 le23

The problem is the four blows at front and back, which means that 2 or 4 
at the lead end does not produce a legitimate method, and 1 gives a 
2-lead course. There are 2-lead splices with the methods with 345 at the 
half-lead, but these cannot be joined into an extent. There is also a 
4-lead splice between the two, but this doesn't help.

That should be 283.
