I don't think so, there are 2 exposures per pagedataset, not per paging
type. So if PLPA pages must come from the Common pgds, they will use the 2
Common pgds exposures and must compete with the normal Common pageins from
the Common pgds.

And will also be the 2 PLPA pgds exposures.

maximum potential page-in rate is achieved by using the maximum number of
exposures and this must mean to route PLPA pagins through the PLPA exposures
to the PLPA pgds and the same for the Common. 
However, since most installations do (should) not have (any) PLPA paging,
the benefit might be small and possibly not worth while.
