One of the requirements of the 20 hours of instruction for your commercial license training includes (below);

C. Dual: 20 hours of flight training on the Commercial Pilot areas of operation that includes at least--
(iii) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in daytime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure;

(iv) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure; and

Can I do this as ONE XC depart during sunlight (day VFR) to an airport 100 nm or more away from my home airport and then depart that airport back to my home airport during night (night VFR), it would be both 2 hours and 100 nm or more away straight line distance in one XC flight?

That way one flight can knock it out of the park

Thanks for insight and responses
 
Out and back is fine. Did mine out at night, duval crawl KEYW, back daylight afternoon next day. (spring for hotel/drinks/stippers/etc)
 
As stated above, yes you can.

This reminds me of mine. We left SNA for BLH in a mighty 152. Upon landing at BLH we planned to take a cab into town and have dinner. The line guy said there was no more cab service to town, but we could taxi our plane to the truck stop which was visible in the distance. I looked at my CFI, he looked back at me and we decided to just walk over. Good thing because one would need 4-wheel drive to get there the way the line guy said. to go We went into the diner, looked around, and realized we should call America's Most Wanted and tell them we found everyone they were looking for. We hoofed it back, waited for night fall, and flew home hungry, having a late and probably safer dinner near SNA.
 
BLH is eerie man. I helped a friend ferry a 152 home and we did a fuel stop there just after dusk...come to find out we had to call the guy out to turn the pumps on. Anyways, we're waiting about 30 minutes for the dude to show up, utter silence on this big old airfield, then the coyote's start howling...and getting closer...seriously had us spooked. He was PIC leaving and had his door pop open on departure at about 300 feet...interesting night and a long day, IYK-VNY-BLH-GYR in a 152.
