Applying the log sequential backups to a database i can't later stop At a previously applied fully applied log?

ex:
applied log1 no recovery
applied log2 no recovery
applied log3 no recovery
applied log4 stop at (log2 elapsed time) with recovery

will not recover to log2 time?

If you were going to do a stop at on an earlier log you would have to have done it with recovery. For example if your stop at time was part of log3 then you would have used restore log stopat with recovery and that would be it. You can't restore logs after the stop at point that doesn't make any sense and your LSN chain would no longer be in order.
