As far as I know, the only policies we have about writing regression tests
are in the Contributors' Guide, section 10.8.2 Writing regression tests.

"
Regression tests should be as brief as possible to demonstrate the
functionality of the code.

Regression tests should generally cover one issue per test. Several short,
single-issue regression tests are preferred to a single, long,
multiple-issue regression test.

Use existing regression tests as templates to demonstrate the type of header
information that should be included in a regression test.
"

Sometimes a regression test is intended to show all possible functionality.
In such a case, an existing test should be extended to show the added
functionality.

But where possible, we try to keep tests to a single issue.

Personally, I will trust your judgment in this case.  Do what seems best.

Thanks,

Carl
