Take for example a medial noon followed by a fah. The stroke starting from the top of the medial noon and arriving at the highest position of the fah should be unique, unbreakable and perfectly drawn.

Indeed, that is mandatory, and NF_mm_f [medial Nuun + medial or final Faa****] is a good example.

When you start breaking it into pieces and inserting extra stuff you have lost the dynamics of Arabic script.

or the pieces have to seemlessly fit together to give the appearance of continuity.

Best wishes
