No, it doesn't. If the cloud layers are 4000 to 5200 and he's heading east,
he'd have to climb to 7500 to operate VFR-on-top.

Thank you all for the comments.
Never thought it would open such a can of worms.
As I stated in my original post, I did not want to climb to 7000, since I was
only 30 miles from my destination. By the time I would have been at 7000, I
would start my decend. Only reason for not flying through all the cloud layers,
was for the comfort of my passenger ( wife who doe not like to fly) VFR on top
would have been 7500.
All I needed was 200 feet and I would have been on top.
Thanks
