Of course the point of the hours is to space prayer out throughout the day. However, for priests and religious is it strictly illegal to pray all the hours one after the other in a single bulk? Example instead of morning at 7, noon at 12, afternoon at 3, etc. etc., all the prayers for hours of morning noon after evening and night all prayed between 7 and 8 am.

Is this example bulk strictly illegal, even if devotions are routinely observed at other times of the day?
