Actually, Peter's answer is the best yet.
Seeing as VOLUME can be a real physical device or a rooted logical, the rules
are not generalizable as I stated.

Jordan's right, my user02 is already a rooted logical
(concealed device) which is why my second example failed;
it would have worked if user02 were a real device name.
$ dir $5$dka102:[use2root.friedberg.tools.][com.fms]
Directory $5$DKA102:[USE2ROOT.FRIEDBERG.TOOLS.][COM.FMS]
FSC_GENERAL.DEVX;1 11/36
FSC_GENERAL.DIFF;1 3/36
FSC_GENERAL.PRDXX;1 11/36
Total of 3 files, 25/108 blocks.
Thanks, Jordan.

No, but
VOLUME:[foo.bar.][baz.biff]file.wif
^ (note the dot here)
is equivalent to
VOLUME:[foo.bar.baz.biff]file.wif
Note that you only get one extension this way:
VOLUME:[foo.][bar.][baz.biff]file.wif
Does not work.
