Not that I have an official source to offer, but, rationally speaking:

ko'a broda ko'e ko'i = fa ko'a fe ko'e fi ko'i broda
ko'a broda be ko'e ko'i = fa ko'a fe ko'e fi ko'i broda

The same terbri filling the same selbri. As far as the effective
meaning of the bridi is concerned, they are identical.

I think the linked sumti no more 'eliminate' the places than the
unlinked sumti do. {broda be ko'e be'o fo'e} is as valid as {broda
ko'e fe fo'e}, examples of which can be found in xorxes' {lo nu binxo}
if I remember correctly. {broda be ko'e be'o fo'e} and {broda ko'e fe
fo'e} should make as much sense as {broda ko'e .i broda fo'e}.
