I use a 10 trip peak ticket since I don't commute every day.

One complete trip is two punches on the card - East and West of Jamaica.
Can these "half trips" be used any time? And can they be combined into a full trip?

Let's say a conductor only punches one box for every full trip (he neglects to punch
the other box after Jamaica). So I have a 10 trip with 10 E punches and no W punches.

Can I combine those 10 unpunched boxes into 5 more trips?
What are the LIRR's rules about what each punch is good for?

I'm not asking if this is the "right" thing to do - I know it is not.
I'm just trying to understand what the rules are, and how those
punches work.

Nope. You've paid for 10 one-way trips from station A to station B within 6 months. You can't combine them or mix-and-match. Same thing when you buy a one-way, you can't combine them to get free rides if the conductor fails to punch all zones.
