  <p>Yes. According to the latest rating rules - <a href="https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022024" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FIDE Rating Regulations effective from 1 March 2024</a>:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>7.1.4</strong>      A rating for a player new to the list shall be published when it is based on at least 5 games against rated opponents. This need not be met in one tournament. <strong>Results from other tournaments played within consecutive rating periods of not more than 26 months are pooled to obtain the initial rating.</strong> The rating must be at least 1400.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>So, the old rule of counting results going back 26 months still applies.</p>
