That's a good point I hadn't even considered. Moffat did say pre-series 8 that there would be more "short episodes" (minisodes in varying lengths) due to the popularity of Pond Life and The Night of the Doctor. It's conceivable they could add a TBC to prequels/minisodes/short episodes in the future. They randomly apply them to full length episodes, so I wouldn't be surprised, but I also would not want to count something like that as a multi-parter with a full length episode if they got an itch to do so.
