True, it is a bit of an exploit. However, even if they did rearrange, after one or two such attacks, the gaps would be large (only 2-4 destroyers left) and the convoy would be vulnerable. You could get close have a look at the formation and re-position ahead to maximize the vulnerabilities. They would need to be rotating positions to have any chance of minimizing.
