Combined nights are pretty clear.
Years at PLT will be, I believe, the sum of years earning PLT in either program over your history. If you earn PLT in both in one year, it will count as 2.
So if you have >600 nights total, earned PLT in MR 6 times and PLT in SPG 4 times, you will qualify under the new program for LT PLT, as you have 600 nights and 10 years as PLT.
Even if all 4 of those SPG years overlapped with the 6 MR years.
