This would take more work than it's worth.  The system doesn't care what kind of a template you have, or where you put it, as far as I know.  You could create a "detail" template in the Summary Tab, or vice versa.

So, decide if you're going to consider the intermediate template a "semi-detail" template or an "expanded summary" template.

Then, in the appropriate tab, create two templates, as shown below:

EITHER THIS
(Summary Tab)
- summary
- summary_plus

(Detail Tab)
- details

OR

(Summary Tab)
- summary

(Detail Tab)
- partial_details
- full_details
