LNFs being combined - mandatory?

made 5 seperate reservations for 5-consecutive nights (next year) at same hotel and plan to later CXL 2-nights once flight reservations can be booked..... Best Available Rates were not the same for each night (ranging from 10,000 to 13,00RUB/night), however I did find a comparison site offering the same hotel over the same 5-nights each for less (all nights at 9000RUB) then the BAR rates originally booked..........
Filed an LNF claim one at a time for each of the 5 reservations.....
Received a positive response from LNF that my LNF was approved for the total 5-nights however they UNILATERALLY aggregated the 5 seperate reservations into a single 5-night reservation......

When I replied to LNF folks that I wanted to maintain the 5-SEPERATE reservations they replied that according to the T&Cs that consecutive nights must be aggregated and site Rule 8, "Comparison Rates applicable to only a portion of your entire scheduled stay will not be honored."
Now I'm only a lawyer for nearly 30-yrs so obviously I have no idea of how to read, but my understanding of their cited rule would mean if you had 3-seperate reservations with LNFs approved only on first and third but not second night that you could not use the approval of nights 1 & 3 to validate an LNF rate for night #2, but I'm open to any comments from FT'ers.......
