Well yea, because it ISNT about the length of the shift, its about the length of the REST in bewtween!
theoretically you could do 15 hours then 11 hours rest, then 15-11, 15-11, 15-11 for a full week if you wanted too!
B…
Only if you were having split daily rest periods or were multi-manning, for a single manned shift the daily rest period has to be completed within a period of 24 hours from the start of the shift.
So even if you do a 15 hour shift then have 11 hours off it’s still a reduced daily rest period.

You can do 3 fifteen hours shifts in a week.
No, you can reduce your daily rest to 9 hours three times a week.
No, you can reduce your daily rest to 9 hours three times between weekly rest periods.
Depending when your weekly rest falls you could do up to six reductions in a week.
Week
noun.
a period of seven days
Indeed, and in that period of seven days it is possible to legally have six reduced daily rest periods, not just three.
True. I’ve been out-pedanted.
I’m going to flounce off like a big gay drama queen now.

It’s not the same thing at all. 
Imagine this.
I do a 13 hour shift, have 9 hours off, another 13 hour shift, another 9 hours off, another 13 hour shift and another 9 hours off.
So far this week I’ve done no 15 hour shifts. You say I’m allowed to do three in a week.
Bearing in mind I’ve done none so far this week, how many can I do for the rest of the week?
You’d say three.
The answer is none.
Mind blown.
You’re welcome.
Ah but if you had 3 hours off during your 13 hours you could 9 hours off every night
Mind blowing yeah!!!
Good bye !!!
