Default When does an Oyster pre-paid journey end?

I think Marylebone is a special case and the interchange time is
extended for this very reason

Hmmm. So...

Let's say the Met line is broken - again - and I want to use the Marylebone
Chiltern Diesels to get to the end of the Amersham Met instead.

I emerge from Baker St, walk the 5-10 minutes to Marylebone, then wait 20
minutes for a train. Ooops. I've taken a break, so get charged for another
ticket.

Even ignoring the time factor, if I get a Marylebone in the morning peak, I
*have* to walk to Baker St to get into the tube, as the Marylebone Bakerloo
line is exit only until sometime in the next millenium while somebody
builds a new escalator out of matchsticks single handed. Is that a "single
journey"?
