Yes it is. Virgin is usually recognised as being fairly easy to port
in and then out of again after one month or so.

Do any provider allow you to port in and pretty much straight out again or
do some stipulate a minimum term when you've ported a number?

Generally you have to stay for 1 month I think

A PAC is valid for 30 days and you can't get another till those 30 days
end. So if you got a PAC and waited 23 days before porting, you could
get a new PAC to port out again a week later. However, if you push your
luck something could go wrong and lose you the number.

I've seen this statement before, but I have had two PACs issued less
than 30 days apart and my partner has also. I think that perhaps a PAC
is valid for 30 days or until it is used; it would make sense that once
it is used, it is no longer valid - and so there's no reason why the new
network shouldn't issue a new PAC.

You are welome to take the risk. I wouldn't. It can go wrong without help.
