I believe you can actually do it that way even if you use each city. You just have to be consistent in the way you pro-rate each trip.
You can use the first overnight amount for day 1 and day 2. Then you use the second overnight amount for day 3 and the third overnight amount for day 4. Or you can use the first overnight amount for day 1, the second overnight amount for day 2, and the third overnight amount for day 3 and day 4. You have to choose which way you want to do it and then do it the same way the entire year.
Per the pub, if you use the actual city amount you have to use the 75% OR another method consistently. But the other methods described would be that you get there at 1am on the first day and leave at noon on the last day. That would be 100% on the first and 50% on the last. Why would they even give the 75% option if you can always use 100%? But that is just my interpretation. It is only wrong if you get audited.
