they would not balance corectly as above
if it was a 4s pack it would have a balance lead between each cell block
the two on the left will only be balanced to the two on the right, but the left pack could have a low cell and the 2nd left have a higher cell to compensate, which is why you should have more than one balance (blue) lead
if you had blue leads between pack 1 & 2. 2 & 3 and 3 & 4 you could charge them as a 4 s pack ok
