You are more than welcome ! :-)
But who said something about MULTIPLE paths?
Fragmentation can happen with only one path. For interleaving to happen,
you need some sort of queue.
No, I'm not getting confused with the commands (although I may be
confused with the way things work, but for the time being I think I'm not).
As soon as you enable ppp multilink, thers's a layer of protocol (MPPP)
that actually fragments and dispatchs on one side, and orders and
reassembles in the other. This happens also with only one link. May
sound futile but it works like that AFAIK. Take a look at bundles open
already with only one channel...
