can you leave china for vacations during work time frame in china?

Question

My husband is an American citizen with valid 10 year multiple entry L to China. He has use it twice already for short trips to visit me. Now he wants to work in China to stay with me long term. According to your article, he can apply for a Z in US, assuming he finds an employer will hire him for 5 years, enter China, and get the resident permit for 5 years. During the 5 years, if we want to leave China to travel or visit families in US, can he enter and exit China using his existing L? or what else can he use? because the Z will be voided when he enter china

He will be required to report to the Entry and Exit Administration office to get a multi-entry residence permit within 30 days of entering China which will be used for entering and exiting China (the permit itself functions just like a visa). His L will be canceled when he applies for the Z visa.
