Would you hash partition a hash'ed column?

Hi gurus,
Oracle 12.1.0.2 on Exadata...
Got a VLDB. Various tables are updated/inserted daily from various data sources. The table from one source has roughly 8 billion records. The table is currently range/interval partitioned on the rec update date/timestamp. However, the PK and column used for the incoming data source upsert is a hash key that's about 30 chars long and made up of digits and alphas.
Have the thought of changing the partition to be a hash partition of the PK column that contains a hash'ed value. Does anyone have any thoughts on if that would make sense of if there are any pros or cons for hashing partitioning a hash value?
Update. I found out that records older than x years are never updated, so we've moved them to a history table. That took the rec count down from 8 billion to about 750 million. That has helped performance much, but still wondering about hash partitioning the hash key...

Thanks for any thoughts...
