Bashing Merged Patches and Merged Mods

[ShivStix]

I have looked into and followed a lot of the STEP guide for FNV, and I have one lingering question...

 

When I follow the guide to merge mods with the xedit merge script, such as following the steps to merge the machienzo or yuki mods, can I then go into FNVEdit and use the generate bash tags script on those merged mods, to get bash tags to form a bashed patch?

 

Secondly, if I make a merged patch by using the Other>Create Merged Patch, can I then include that merged patch in my bash, and make a bashed patch that INCLUDES said merged patch, and said merged mods above? Or is that too much merging upon merging?

 

Thanks.
