It's not open to interpretation, it should be fully sleeved as Sparkychick has quoted from the regulations.
Agree, you can disregard my post earlier as it's been proved incorrect. Unfortunately it's too late to edit to point out it's now retracted due to being proved wrong
 
In sleeving CPCs in back boxes etc. your providing protection against unwanted contact with other terminals to avoid bangs, flashes and other unwanted side effects such as random RCD tripping.

The sleeving offers very little in the way of mechanical protection, it's far too flexible and flimsy.

It's not open to interpretation, it should be fully sleeved as Sparkychick has quoted from the regulations.

Credit for the regulation quoting goes to @westward10 , I merely got the text from the regs :)
