If I flew a 2 hr. day XCtry and 2 hr. night XCtry, meeting the NM
requirements, with an instructor while working on the instrument

exist for those elements, or that they were done while training for the
commercial rating?


Any cross country you've done in the past for any reason is usable if it meets
the criteria. If you have a reasonably fresh instrument rating you're pretty
good to go. Learning the basics of the required maneuvers in a complex single
may be easier than in your C-172; you've got to burn up 10 hours somehow anyway.

I'd say go for it. I did the same thing myself not so I could earn a living so
much as to get people to ride with me. People who are reluctant to ride with a
private pilot often don't show the same reticence with a commercial one.
