Only the top RB of a task is active; no work can be performed for the older RBs until the older TB goes away or an SVC rearranges the chain, which I believe that only one SVC ever did. When the RB goes into a wait state, the task can only be dispatched after a POST or adding an asynchronous RB, e.g., SVRB, to the chain.
Nit: the word "suspend" in MVS that does not apply to an RB. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
