----------- RDF Graph 1
@prefix rdf:     <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .

<http://example.org/favourite-fruit>
     a           rdf:Seq ;
     rdf:_1      <http://example.org/banana> ;
     rdf:_2      <http://example.org/apple> ;
     rdf:_3      <http://example.org/pear> .

----------- RDF Graph 2
<http://example.org/favourite-fruit>
     a           rdf:Seq ;
     rdf:_1      <http://example.org/pineapple> .

----------- RDF Merge

@prefix rdf:     <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .

[[
the rdf:Seq class is used conventionally to indicate to a human reader 
that the numerical ordering of the container membership properties of 
the container is intended to be significant.
]]

Double use of rdf:_1 is confusing.

----------- RDF Graph 3
@prefix rdf:     <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .

[]
     a           rdf:Seq ;
     rdf:_1      <http://example.org/banana> ;
     rdf:_2      <http://example.org/apple> ;
     rdf:_3      <http://example.org/pear> .

----------- RDF Graph 4
[]
     a           rdf:Seq ;
     rdf:_1      <http://example.org/apple> .

----------- RDF Merge

@prefix rdf:     <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
[]
     a           rdf:Seq ;
     rdf:_1      <http://example.org/banana> ;
     rdf:_2      <http://example.org/apple> ;
     rdf:_3      <http://example.org/pear> .

[]
     a           rdf:Seq ;
     rdf:_1      <http://example.org/pineapple> .

and the app can decide what to do.
