It doesn't matter what order you concatenate the data in, but I would not recommend only analyzing the data of one phase encoding direction.

I have a few clarification questions below: Does it matter in which order I concatenate the LR and the RL .nii's? My ultimate goal is to create a functional connectivity matrix from the time series. #3 in the link you sent describes that there are 4 runs per subject. Is this the REST 1, and REST 2, each with LR and RL phase encoding directions? Would using only one phase encoding direction (i.e. do analysis on LR) expect to effect the results?

I understand that LR is left to right and RL is right to left. I'm wondering, are these meant to be somehow combined, or is only one of these typically chosen?
