Oh, I'm sorry, I see now. The normal lead of Cambridge is the normal
lead of Cambridge. The snap lead you think of as *two* leads of
Cambridge, each with its own lead shortening bob, the first excising
the first two changes, and the second the last thirty. Not the way
many ringers would think of it, I'm sure, but you are right that it is
a way to smash the square peg into the round hole successfully.

Thanks, and sorry for having misunderstood.
