I think Robert is right because after you've rewritten a 
touch in this manner, there's no longer a guarantee that all 
of the leads join up into a single round block.  It's 
possible that you might end up with a few spare bob courses 
(or other round blocks) that detach themselves from the main 
body of the composition.

The situation is the same in doubles.  Every extent of Plain 
Bob Doubles (of which there's only one, pppb x3) can be 
converted to an extent of St Simon's Doubles.  But not every 
extent of St Simon's can be converted to an extent of Bob 
Doubles.  In particular, bbbp x3 is a valid extent of St 
Simon's, but if you try to convert that to Plain Bob, you 
end up with a 60 (bp x3) and three 20s (each bb).
