I assume the network stack will decide how to put the packets together, which means that there may be packages that are split into parts if they are too long or are put together into a big packet (at least with tcp) so you cannot rely on either
If you use some kind of framing or use a separation byte to make sure you can reconstruct the packages if they are changed, that would be safe in all cases, e.g. prefix each packet with a size byte or word (depending on how large your packets can be).
