Actually no, rule 4d says:
"Each image submitted has to be the direct result of a POV-Ray render.
No post processing of any kind is permitted. The images have to be
submitted in JPEG format. (Note: converting from another image format to
JPEG is not considered 'post processing')."
Of course extracting the two detail views from one large render is OK
but scaling down a larger render does not comply with this rule. While
you might argue about this making sense or not and making a difference
or not you should remember - winning entries have to supply the scene
source and if the result can not be reproduced this might lead to
disqualification. So unless you know what algorithm your scaling uses
and that this can be reproduced with appropriate antialiasing settings
this can be risky.
Another note about the detail views - among the images submitted for the
original deadline there have been several ones where the detail views
obviously were not made with exactly the same scene as the main render
and some detail views were rendered without antialiasing. Both things
are likely to give a negative impression in the eyes of the judges and
the new extended deadline should give enough time to generate high
quality detail views.
