But what if the those conditions exist only halfway up the cylinder? If
you could get SVFR in the entire cylinder, including the E, you climb in
the D to the E, and in the E to the top of the cloud layer to where VFR
conditions exist, go up another thousand feet, and exit.


Yes, you could do it under those conditions.



If you could not get SVFR in the E, you could not do this.


And since you can't get SVFR outside of the surface area you cannot do it.
