Two different modes of the multibody collinear decay from the reaction 238 U +4 He (40 MeV ) are discussed. Basing on the masses of three detected fragments one can come to conclusion that the decaying system in each mode looks like a chain consisting of two or three magic clusters respectively. Some of the clusters involved undergo "second" clusterisation in the scission point leading to formation of dinuclear molecules. These latter can disintegrate via inelastic scattering on the materials on the flight path.
