I think that only the full-depth retract is on the drive-line and each other pass has the same retract distance as that last pass. I imagine that this is to make every retract move exactly the same to prevent any potential problems in the run-out area. You should be able to carve your own G76 cycle using a sequence of G33 moves, possibly even as a remap.
