Need clarification for R12 Pre-upgrade patches

Now, I'm about to apply patch 16791553 (Oracle E-Business Suite Consolidated Upgrade Patch 2 (CUP2) for R12.1.1), and the other pre-install patches available from note 1448102.1 (R12.1.x and 12.2x Oracle E-Business Suite Pre-install Patches Report), but I have some doubts, please let me know if the following would be an appropriate course of action:

- Apply resulting merged patch, with preinstall=y.
- Merge, in preinstall mode,
