Yes, of course.

The script just transcribes the terminal session; nobody is expected to
be able to flawlessly run all commands.

Concatenating the scripts and timestamp files might not work as you
expect.  You can submit multiple pairs of typescript+timestamp files.

That's alright.  The file is not intended (primarily) for human
consumption.  Instead, you'd use the scriptreplay(1) tool to replay the
typescript.
