st: Combining spells prior to -stcox- ?

Dear listers,
in my spell data, there are many cases in which a "new" spell starts
only a few days after the end of the previous one.
Before running -stcox-, I am trying to decide whether to combine such
pairs of spells into one,
and if so, from what spell break length onwards I should stop combining them?
Or, at least if the second spell starts the day after the first ends,
does it not matter for -stcox- whether for some individual I have 2
subsequent spells of 3 days each or one spell of 6 days?
Thanks,
JZ
