Not quite, would you really plan to stay in the water for nearly double your total runtime for a lost deco gas? When it's far easier to just share a bottle?
For a lost deco gas it is way easier to stay with your team member and use the 50% reserve that he's carrying.

Now I appreciate that most don't team train as hard as we do, and so you may need to find compromise solutions like this where you're running more narcotic mixes at hotter ppO2s.
