Academic exercises aside, the best way to test the process would be to plan such a multi-level dive, then actually dive it using a computer. Then the theoretical could be compared to the actual. This might sound like a waste of time but, you never know, it might come in handy for someone sometime.
It's too cold here to do it now, but maybe next summer I might try it. I think it's worth exploring.
I use an X1 with V-planer live. Assuming I was Mr. Perfect & hit my ascent/decent rates, maintained exact levels & times as planed on my desktop V-planer on these dives, I'd get exactly the same outcome. I'v done these sorts of dives many times ( except for the Mr. perfect part) on the X1, I never go into deco on a rec. dive. Oh, of course that's excepting that time with the anchor, or was that twice, or......
