Honestly, I can't see why it wouldn't be fine, especially if that can help fleshing your characters a bit better, but for being sure, maybe ask a veteran.
As I write a new request and think of different stories altogether, I came up with 2 stories for 2 different control prompts, namely "agents first meet" and "one tells the other about recruitment". Normally it should be one or the other, but I think including both stories in the request would flesh out the agents better. None of the 3 stories are long; in fact, each are about 500 or 600 words. What's the consensus on this?
Just bear in mind that we're all very tired, 2021 being what it is. Case in point: it took me two days to get the energy to post this reply, which ultimately consists of "eh, sure".

Don't forget that the writing samples also need to show us your understanding of the PPC, which was the biggest stumbling block last time, IIRC. Make sure you've put plenty of effort into your research (including reading stories, not just the wiki) as well as the actual writing.
And, I promise, if it's an engaging story with entertaining characters that are well integrated with the setting, we won't mind a few hundred words more or less. {= )
