If the other station was a separate rig, never used for the main multiop setup, and if the operators of station #2 never operated the main multiop station, I do not see how that is a violation of the rules.  I think the same thing goes for the grid circling stations-they are all separate, self contained stations, each with their own operator, who take turns working each other.
