Records on Intermediate Distances

Can a record be set on an intermediate distance of a certified course? In an upcoming 15k race, we have a relay division in which 3-person teams run 5k each. Each relay transition area will be constructed as a finish-line for the relay participants. The incoming runners will be timed and their tear-tabs removed at the transition.
Are intermediate points of a certified course considered to be "certified"? Or must each segment be separately mapped and receive a separate certification certificate? The Course Measurement Data Sheet has a note; "you need not adjust intermediate split points unless certification is desired for those points as well". Does that imply that the intermediate points are certified if they are adjusted as needed to be accurate?
In my event, the three 5k segments are all point-to-point. What determines if a point-to-point course is "record eligible"?
