I have tღwo questions, any judge on the forum that is able to answer them?

1. How would this work when a blocking creature has the ability to block multiple attacking creatures? Can the defending player designa🌞te how much combat damage is being dealt to each attacker?

Example: a 2/2 and 4/4 attacker are both being blocked by a 5/5 blocker. Can the defending player designate 4 combat damage🧔 to the 4/4, and 1 combat damage to the 2/2?

Does the answer of my above ꦚq🍎uestion also apply when the banding ability is involved?

702.22h If an attacking creature becomes blocked by a creature, each other creature in the same band as the attacking creature becomes blocked by that same blocking creature.

702.22k During the combat damage step, if a blocking creature is blocking a creature with banding, or both a creature with “bands with other” and another creature, the active player (rather than the defending player) chooses how the blocking creature’s damage is assigned. That player can divide that creature’s combat damage as they choose among any creatures it’s blocking. This is an exception to the procedure described in rule 510.1d.

2. Let's say we use the same example as before. With the above cited rules in min𝓡d, can the active player designate how much combat damage from the 5/5 blocker is being dealt to each attacker in the band even without having the ability to bl𓆏ock multiple creatures? I believe this is exactly what rule 702.22k is mentioning, right?
