You are given an integer array `nums` that is sorted in non-decreasing order.

Determine if it is possible to split `nums` into one or more subsequences such that both of the following conditions are true:

• Each subsequence is a consecutive increasing sequence (i.e. each integer is exactly one more than the previous integer).
• All subsequences have a length of `3` or more.

Return `true` if you can split `nums` according to the above conditions, or `false` otherwise.

A subsequence of an array is a new array that is formed from the original array by deleting some (can be none) of the elements without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining elements. (i.e., `[1,3,5]` is a subsequence of `[1,2,3,4,5]` while `[1,3,2]` is not).

Example 1:

```Input: nums = [1,2,3,3,4,5]
Output: true
Explanation: nums can be split into the following subsequences:
[1,2,3,3,4,5] --> 1, 2, 3
[1,2,3,3,4,5] --> 3, 4, 5
```

Example 2:

```Input: nums = [1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5]
Output: true
Explanation: nums can be split into the following subsequences:
[1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5] --> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
[1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5] --> 3, 4, 5
```

Example 3:

```Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,4,5]
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to split nums into consecutive increasing subsequences of length 3 or more.
```

Constraints:

• `1 <= nums.length <= 104`
• `-1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000`
• `nums` is sorted in non-decreasing order.
