No… it's precisely the same structure as a “regular” long repeat.
The only difference is how the break is handled from an engraving perspective 
(i.e., new line or blanked staff, symbols above and/or below the staff/system 
at various points, etc.)

Did you even look at the previously-linked issue page? 
<https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3752>
David K helpfully provided several examples (= use cases).

Cheers,
Kieren.
