10 Year `Continuous stay'

Hi there,
If a person is in UK(Student>PSW>Tier 1 G)for few years,He/she leaves the country on/before the date of expiry of the visa,applies for a PBS based visa within a week or so and gets it.He/she does it every now and then and makes up 10 years then will it be counted as a Continuous stay with few days of gap in between of 2 consecutive visas?
I know it may sound stupid but would appreciate response from members!

Should be okay.

1. That wud be fine as long as u leave before the visa expiry and re-enter either with the same visa or another visa within 6 months.

Thanks a lot vinny and ash..I recently came to know about this..I was thinking that 10 yrs must comprise of in country extensions only which can be really difficult.
