Can Disney divide up/change contracts they buy in ROFR?

I've read that Disney can now change the use year after taking a RFOR and reselling it. But can they combine or divide-up multiple contracts they buy-back then repackage and resell? Thanks.
 
They have always been able to break up the points in a contract, the ability to change UY is the most recent change.
 
Disney maintains the ability to break up large contracts into whatever size they choose.

As it relates to UY, the only material change has been that Disney is no longer beholden to the randomly assigned UYs associated with a particular unit when a resort was declared.

This allows them to take any contract that is repossessed, either by way of foreclosure or ROFR and strip the designated UY.

What Disney cannot do is combine non-matching units. As such, if you are looking for a 200 points in the March UY at VGF, and Disney repossesses a 50 points in Unit 01A (April) and a 150 points in 04C (August), Disney could offer you a 50 point, and separately, a second 150 point contract. Both would carry the March UY designation, but they would be unable to combine these two units into one 200 point contract for you. To combine contracts, it would require the units to be the same (irrespective of their now meaningless UYs).

Is there a thread that goes into further details on "units?" I realize it doesn't really affect DVC usage in general, but my curiosity is piqued and would like to further understand how the sausage is made.
 


They also cannot reassign to a UY where the points for that unit are not there.

So if they ROFR an October contract in 04C and the current (2018) UY was used, they cannot change it to a December UY and sell.it before December 2019. They would be required to provide current year points, but they are gone.
