As everyone has said so far - it should be continuous to meet EIA/TIA standards. Putting a splice in the middle will probably cause a certified Cat 6 tester to fail the run.
Regardless of passing a certified test the circuit should still work, albeit at a slower speed.
What are they using the cabling for?
If it's just to get on line at 3MBS DSL and to transfer some small files back and forth it'll work fine. Maybe they'll only be running at 10 MBS instead of 700. Who cares.
If however they're sending huge CAD files back and forth they're going to be annoyed.
I assume they're doing this to save money on individual cable runs. If not, then why not run individual cables?
They should be made aware that they will probably not get top speed on this wiring,
Also - are you running this cable in conduit out to the trailers or stringing indoor cable outdoors? That may not matter much on Day 1 or 2, but give it a little time and you'll see some problems.
