The conclusion is correct, but it doesn't apply to the situation at
hand. There's no "part of a command" being executed.
I presume the help text in reference is the explanation under :help :exe
which explains that you can't start a 'while', 'for', or 'if' inside an
:exe and then finish it outside the :exe.
The :exe in the example is also allowed. The concatenated strings form
a whole command:
:exe "let @1 = ''"
:exe "let @2 = ''"
...etc.
