What would happen if...........

If one stacked a large number [ say 50, 75, or a hundred or more] of very short subs [say 8 secs] of M42 in order to retain the core of the nebula, what would happen if one added a single long sub that reveals more of the nebulosity and obviously blows out the core, and would the result vary according to how many very short subs were used? In other words, would the effect of the one long sub be diluted? Also, would the extra nebulosity shown by the long sub be diluted as well?
