Paul's pickups: parallel humbuckers / splitting to "wrong" coil?

Has anyone tried parallel humbucker wiring on the Paul's or Paul's SE pickups with their unbalance coils? Very curious about how this atypical design would sound in scenarios where a brighter tone is needed in an electrically very noisy room.

As a bonus I'm curious how splitting to the "wrong" weak coils would sound, maybe for an intentionally thin and twangy sound.

The wiring I'm considering is the third one here: https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/the-p-rails-wiring-bible-part-3 Instead of using individual coil splits it uses the two switches to select either the outer or the inner coils, and provides parallel humbuckers when both switches are thrown.
