Declarer has complete choice of all options in Law 50D2 each and every time
partner to a player with MPC has the lead (as long as the MPC is still a
PC).

Example: Declarer selects option L50D2(b) and the card led wins the trick so
the same player has the lead to the next trick. If his partner still has a
PC (the lead was in a suit different from the suit of the PC, or there was
more than one PC), declarer is again free to choose between L50D2(a) and
L50D2(b) and the player on the lead must not make any lead until Declarer
has made his choice on this second lead. (And so on....)
