If I run the first two patterns, 0xaa and 0x55, and stop the program, is it possible to rerun badblocks only running the last two? 0xff and 0x00 to complete the process?

I am reading the help for it and I believe I just need to run two separate commands to finish the last two patterns. Is this correct? Is it possible to run the last two patterns with one command?

badblocks -wsv -t 0xff -b 4096 /dev/sdb
badblocks -wsv -t 0x00 -b 4096 /dev/sdb

can I do this?

badblocks -wsv -t 0xff,0x00 -b 4096 /dev/sdb
