Someone who already has a 320-acre enlarged homestead entry can still make a desert-land entry too. The applicant must be a qualified entryman. Together, the homestead and desert-land entries can't total more than 480 acres.

A person who has already made an enlarged homestead entry of 320 acres can still apply for a desert-land entry too — that right isn't denied just because they already have the homestead entry. But the applicant must be a properly qualified entryman, and the total land acquired through both the enlarged homestead entry and this section together cannot be more than 480 acres.
