Sure. People tend to forget that packs like this are changing all the time - someone may pull out of either line, and gaps seem to open and close for no clear reason, so it's important to be flexible and prepared to move back or forward. The main thing is to be safe and predictable when you're dropping down
on the back.

Thanks, your 'pairs on the blue' advice seems to make most sense to me.
You perhaps hint that the situation does cause confusion, and from my experience so far, I think @StephenC has a point when he says "In the big sessions you won't be able to tell whether one line has an odd number" -- and of course someone may drop out of an even-numbered group without warning. But clearly if you do find yourself the odd rider when you drop down, you should go down to the blue (lower) line.
