OK, so I assume if Democrats were to split up a compact and electorally unified black electorate into separate "coalition" districts, they could argue that there is no requirement for a majority-minority district because the third Gingles condition would in this instance not apply seeing as the white majority does not vote as a bloc that denies blacks the right to select their preferred (Democratic) candidate?
They might be able to do that in cities where the white voters are overwhelmingly Dem and have shown a willingness to support the preferred minority candidate. That case has been successfully made in places like LA and Chicago, but it requires real data analysis to stand up. In other areas the best the Dems can do is show that a coalition allows a district to be slightly less than 50% minority and still perform for that minority. The new VA CDs are examples of that.
