I've seen several cable system designs where a cross bonded system had several single point bonded sections. Is it possible to have the same but for solidly bonded system have one or more single point bonded sections?

For example, you have a simple solidly bonded cable system. Then you have a few parts of cable route where cables are heavily de-rated (directional drill sections for example). Could you install sheath sectionalizing joints at boundaries of these DD sections, earth both side sheaths at one end, earth only one side sheath at the other end and lay earth continuity conductor for DD section? And after that DD carry on with solidly bonded system.
