It depends on the setting of Allow Duplicate Jobs and the various
Cancel...Duplicates settings (see
http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html).

It may be better to run the monthly offsite backup as a separate job
(different job name and schedule).  The problem with your schedule is that the
differential on the Friday after the 2nd Thursday will be relative to the
monthly-vol in external storage, which will make it more complicated to use in
a restore.
