There's no rule against it. I was just supposing. But I'm pretty sure there
is no canon example of any suffix occurring between {-taH} and {-vIS}. I
can only speak for myself, but I expect for most {-neS} would seem like a
weird interruption, and if {-neS} were called for, would add it to the main
clause instead. (As for rovers, does anyone even have a definite idea what
effect {-qu'} or {-be'} would have following {-taH}?)
