I still agree with Carlos though, that the combined OR statement vs a listed OR has benefits of both adding more configuration later and the policy map counters:

Rack1R1(config-pmap-c)#do show run | s class-map|policy-map
class-map match-any DSCP-26-24
 match dscp af31
 match dscp cs3
class-map match-all DSCP-26-24-oneline
 match dscp cs3 af31
policy-map classify-in
 class DSCP-26-24
 class DSCP-26-24-oneline

Rack1R1(config-pmap-c)#do show policy-map int
 Serial0/2/0

  Service-policy input: classify-in

    Class-map: DSCP-26-24 (match-any)
      0 packets, 0 bytes
      5 minute offered rate 0 bps
      Match: dscp af31 (26)
        0 packets, 0 bytes
        5 minute rate 0 bps
      Match: dscp cs3 (24)
        0 packets, 0 bytes
        5 minute rate 0 bps

    Class-map: DSCP-26-24-oneline (match-all)
      0 packets, 0 bytes
      5 minute offered rate 0 bps
      Match: dscp cs3 (24) af31 (26)

    Class-map: class-default (match-any)
      11 packets, 868 bytes
      5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
      Match: any

It might do the same thing, but you might miss a big part of the picture.
