If you connect the second (load end) conductor to the first without overcurrent protection, it is also a tap conductor and you are not permitted to tap a tap.

This is your opinion and I do not agree.
If I take a conductor and splice another conductor to it the same size, all I have done is extend the conductor to a different length.
If I have a 4 AWG conductor that is 4 feet long, and I splice on another 4 foot length of 4 AWG conductor to it, in essence I have an 8 ft length of 4 AWG conductor.
