Does static routing support discontiguous network?

Above is a working topology, 7 subnets in the 192.168.9.x /25 network. By that I mean all PCs can ping each other. Then I changed the IP address on the serial connection between Branch1 and HQ to 172.0.0.1/16 and 172.0.0.2/16. Also added this new static route to the Branch2 router. Afterwards none of the PC can ping each other. Even PC2 and PC3 can't ping each other. They are even on the same side of the 172.0.0.0/16 serial link. Am I missing something here or Does static routing support contiguous network only?

I dont see how changing the serial link between Branch 1 and HQ 2 can cause issues between PC2 and PC3, but im not no expert. any chance of putting the running config of branch 1 router on here? Can have a look but cant make any promises.

Sure.
BRANCH1#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
C 172.0.0.0/16 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
192.168.9.0/27 is subnetted, 6 subnets
S 192.168.9.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
S 192.168.9.64 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
C 192.168.9.96 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
C 192.168.9.128 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1

PC3 has no default gateway.
I don't know how I made the mistake. I presumed I fixed this. Well, now it's all fine. Thanks.
My conclusion, static routes do support discontiguous networks.
