Tony's 5040 consists of a 720 with each of the six bells in the hunt plus an
additional 720 which, if I remember correctly (as it's nearly 30 years since
I called it), has the tenor in the hunt for a second 720. Each of the
constituent 720s is chopped up into its six courses and the whole lot
arranged into a regular 3 part calling (I think) by introducing each of
these courses between a suitably placed pair of 3-4 singles.

This "trick" is clearly general rather than being restricted to Cambridge
and I have a recollection that Andrew Tyler put together a similar
arrangement for London.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question, but why can't you do something
similar by taking a 720 with (say) the 2nd in the hunt, chopping it into its
six courses and then introducing those six courses into a standard 720 with
the treble in the hunt? Obviously only the treble and 2nd get a "go" in the
hunt but you have achieved a variable hunt 1440 with every row twice.
