Hmmm. For the life of me I can't see how this would alter the
physical scale of the X axis. That is, at one level it sounds to me
like "the x axis is a consistent log scale running up to 100, as
opposed to, say, stopping at 10". Yet the problem description we
now have sounds like "the x axis is two independent log scales,
covering different parts of the x world, with different scaling".
It's bridging that gap in understanding that I'm having troubles
with...
