I don’t know the genetics of a Vee comb. I don’t know if it is based on the single, pea, rose, or walnut, then some special modifiers to get it to split like that. From looking at photos there are different versions of the vee comb too. The Le Fleche comb looks a lot different than the Crevecouer vee comb, at least in the photos I found. Skull shape could easily have an influence too. I don’t know if the gene that caused the Vee is dominant or recessive. There is a lot I don’t know.

I suspect that there is one specific gene that modifies the comb to form a Vee and the exact shape of the Vee depends on what other genes are there and maybe skull shape. This is just a guess but I don’t think you will get a standard single comb with that cross. I certainly don’t know.

I’m mainly responding to give you a bump but also to frame some questions if someone that knows does respond. I’ll subscribe for a couple of days to see if there is a response.
