The problem you will find is that the VR3 will penalize you for staying at depth, so you will have to play with your settings and conservatism.. Your stops at depth should help reduce the shallows but this does not happen in practice on the VR3..
Errrrrr this is exactly what my VR3 does. I have never had it extend my shallow stops if I add deep stops (which I do every dive) and it always credits me for deep stops by reducing the shallow stop time.
Generally if the VR3 is telling me to go from a deep pile stop to a much shallower stop I say sod that and add a super slow 3m/min ascent or more stops. The VR3 will reduce the next stop time and often deletes it completely. On look ahead I have seen a 45min at 6m stop reduce to 30mins by adding slow ascents and deep stops.
