And to ensure (as far as possible) the proper credit of nights/points, I should request the hotel to keep the respective folios separate (and of course where possible to keep the same room), check out of the first reservation and refresh the keys for the second booking.

But as Margarita cautioned, it seems prudent to bear in mind that some cockup could happen and that I might have to submit a missing credit claim, hence be sure to have the relevant folios.
yes, correct. I would also ask for a copy of the receipt so if something does go awry, you can use the folio to assist with the missing night claim. it's still 1 stay and x nights depending on how many back to backs you do but you earn points on spend regardless.
