Yes, you could but I was demonstrating how it could be done wrt the number
of arguments.

I believe you could use just one argument w/multiple areas.
=SUM((A1,D2,H5,...Y57,G127,J205,F23,...U2,T1,T5,T8 7,...T99))

You can also use multiple area references:

=SUM((A1,D2,H5,...Y57),(G127,J205,F23,...U2),(T1,T 5,T87,...T99))

The above formula contains 3 arguments. Each set of (...) is a single
argument.
