Curious - blowing more fibre through the riser is a no-go?

30 floors worth of kit with only two spans is tricky any way you look at
it. It would work, yes, but complexity will go up quite a bit.

Of course, if there is absolutely no chance to run more fibre up the
building, that is that. But if there is, just asking...
