Therefore if you were to accumulate 100 UPTDs on each of 3 consecutive days, you'd need to have day #4 as a "break"

However if you look at the RepEx Table, you'll see that there's alot of safety margin built-in

My understanding, is that BSAC did it this way so you wouldn't have to know/remember how many consecutive days diving meant what exposure was allowed (i.e. carry a copy of the RepEx table around with you)
As I understand it, the simplification was to drop the sliding limit in favour of a 300 UPTD per day, as opposed to the 850 or so allowed for 1 day's diving, 700 for 2, 620 for 3 etc.
