It does seem to be a nonsense, especially as I understand that simply by not doing one of the more trivial exams such as VFR Comms, when doing the others, you can extend significantly, or maybe indefinitely, the validity of the lot?
Edit: Have looked at JAR FCL 1 and it talks of completing the Theory course within 18 months. Now whether this means you have to sit (and pass) all the exams within 18 months, or whether it would be possible to not sit one, or maybe deliberately fail one, to allow you to manage or extend the timescales, would need more knowledge than I can give. Maybe one of the Theory schools can help.
