You're right.
AFAIK squid won't work properly if you put more than one entry to ACL TIME.

From squid.conf Definition Access List:
#
# acl aclname acltype string1 ...
# acl aclname acltype "file" ...
#
# when using "file", the file should contain one item per line

But if you have ACL TIME using "file", you must have only one line.
Squid will accept the time which is in the last line (only), when the "file"
has more than one line.
