Watch the Schmitten clip again…. second one on dogfish's youtube links.

The key words in his quote are "if possible"

My interpretation is that if the tribe fishes 4 days in a calendar week, it IS possible.

If the tribe fishes 5 days in a calendar week, it is NOT possible.

Whenever the tribe nets fish 4 days, the bigger question is whether the state comm fishers will fish "in common with" i.e. concurrently with tribal fishers, or whether the QIN will object and keep the state nets from fishing at all.

Anytime the tribe fishes 3 days or less per week, there is opportunity for state nets without having to fish "in common with".
