How many RoboCoach Commands?

I know that the RoboCoach can only have four buttons, but what if those four buttons did different things in Hybrid mode than in TeleOperate mode. I'm thinking of having technically eight commands. Four in Hybrid and Four in TeleOperation. For example the programming might look a little like this:

If in Hybrid {
If 1 pressed {
Do action 1
}

If 2 pressed {
Do action 2
}

If 3 pressed {
Do action 3
}

If 4 pressed {
Do action 4
}}

If in TeleOperate{
If 1 pressed {
Do action 5
}

If 2 pressed {
Do action 6
}

If 3 pressed {
Do action 7
}

If 4 pressed {
Do action 8
}}

Rule G01 and G02 states that the robot can only respond to four signals from the RoboCoach, but the signal that changes the mode from Hybrid to TeleOperate does not come from the RoboCoach, it comes from the Robot Operator Interface.

Did I just find a loophole?

Unfortunately, now that I think about it more, why would I use the IR Remote during TeleOperate if the Operator Interface has plenty of Inputs? Expecially since the OI has less frequency interference than the IR remote (from what I've been reading) and is more predictable.
