That charge doesn't overlay the line of division in the way that "Per
bend ... a bend" or "Per pale ... a pale" does.  Even if it did, hte
line of division is not complex.

I haven't looked, but I would suspect that it conflicts.  If it
doesn't, I'd ask the client whether they'd accept a field division
that's more common in period than in the SCA, like "per fess".
(If you're gonna grab a spiffy design, might as well go for all the
spiff possible.)
