No, I don't believe that this is correct. Simply carry on ringing the
subsequent second in course 360. When you get to the end of that, call a
single, and then ring two out of course 360s, ending with another single.
You've just rung a perfectly acceptable 1,440.

Had you set out to ring peal containing this 1,440 it would certainly have
been acceptable. Whether or not you consider making such an emendation on
the fly equally acceptable is a matter of taste, and, unless the conductor
has announced beforehand what she intends to call, is based on something
known only to her.
