Hi fre3bird, to be honest what you are proposing is well within the standard 5:2 fast diet prescription, which runs the 500 or 600 cals over a calendar day i.e. pretty much 36 hours going from dinner on pre-fast day to breakfast on post-fast day. If you extend to 48 hours then that is outside the normal parameters but not a problem if it works for you.
Having some food intake at regular 12 hour gaps (rather than having a longer gap before a larger meal) is what Dr M does and the main advantage (apart from that you might find it easier) is if you are nervous about the effect of not taking in protein for a more prolonged period. There is some discussion about this in the
More protein debate topic.
Contrariwise, as C has pointed out, some experts think that a longer total fasting period might be more beneficial. You pays your money...
