Can you technically use haber+llevado+past participle?

And if so, how does it change the meaning?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using llevar + past participle to express the completion of an action so far (perífrasis verbal)"

Hola Kaden

It'd be very odd to use it with a perfect tense: ha llevado leías diez páginas, había llevado pintadas 3 paredes (???¿¿¿) - The usual tenses are the present and the imperfect: llevo leídas..., llevaba pintadas... - I think this is because the structure is already expressing an accumulative action as if saying "I have read so far..." "I have painted so far...", so it would be kind of redundant using the perfect tense with llevar.

I hope it clarifies it.

Saludos cordiales
