I have tried this trick earlier.
The problems are the same which I mentioned earlier.

Please, generate and view highest stage table. you will see that you dataset is impossible, because it can't be consecutive, because there is the breakfast!
So as soon as you delete one activity from the min n day between political sience activities, then it solves.

So other example: if an other teacher has 8 subactivities and you want to do the same trick, then remove 2 min n day activities from the min n day constraint. maybe add a new min n day constraint with that 2 deleted activities. (of course, if the teacher has a free day, then you need to do it with 3 subactivities)

Also: if you don't have room problems and the teacher should always have the first hour, it will generate faster if you simply use activity prefferd time and set activities manualy into the first period.
So i recommend to do that with all activities that doesn't have a room problem. (So it is no problem if that activities use teacher or students (home) rooms and the teachers or students don't share that room.)

And maybe rethink about increasing the duration instead of splitting into so many activities. (Rethink to ALL activities), because it will simplify your dataset and generate faster then.
