The rule should be simple stated as "The nominated co-driver must complete 54 laps".
That was my initial understanding as well. But then they go on about rest times, which in my understanding is the inverse of the allowable laps completed...

How a team uses it's B driver to achieve those 54 laps should be up to them. If a team wants to roll the dice, and do 2x driver changes, good luck to them.

I think at the end of the day, the rules are made 1) to be complicated enough to trip a team up for the sake of a controversy, and 2) have all the B drivers on track at the same time, bumping into eachother.
