Is it permissible to count a subsequent expiation for an oath (kaffarat yamin) among previous expiations that were discharged in a number exceeding what was required, believing that the amount paid previously covers the new expiations?

Expiation for an oath is not sufficient if performed before taking the oath. Similarly, expiation for a past oath is not sufficient unless there is an intention to expiate for it at the time the expiation is offered.
