I think it means if the external itself is encoded with BER and the data in
the external is encoded with BER (i.e tags, lengths, etc.) then you can use
single-ASN1-type if the external contains a single-ASN.1 datatype.  If both
these tests (single ASN.1 type and same encoding) are not true, then you (by
implication I agree) can't.
