Why don't you try it and see?  It takes about 60 seconds to create an
example and test it.

This will result in beaming two eighth notes, then a single eighth note,
then two more eighth notes.  You're ending the beams after the
2nd eighth note and the 3rd eighth note (and at the end of the
bar, by default).

In my piece, I'm changing between 3+2/8 and 2+3/8, so I need to
revert the previous beaming settings.
