I’d say so.

Although I still think it’s weird that “consecutive” became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that’s a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

Good question. Not sure why my brain went there. Generally speaking, growing up when someone used the term “in a row” they usually did mean consecutively. I can’t think of a time someone said 3 days in a row and they were not back to back days. Reading it now it does sound repetitive for me to have phrased it that way. Maybe my brain wanted to be specific for non English speakers? It was late at night.

If I see someone Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday all in the same week, is it still 4 days in a row?

Not necessarily.

It could be five days in a column then there are five Mondays in a month (like this month).

I’m going to make the executive choice of saying that yes. Yes it does mean that.
