Yes it is sapinda and if marriage is solemnised between them than it would be void.
Sapinda relationship” with reference to any person extends as far as the third generation (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the mother, and the fifth (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the father, the line being traced upwards in each case from the person concerned, who is to be counted as the first generation.

Father;s father's sister's son's son do not fall within the ambit of sapinda and thus such marriage is valid.
The parameter told by Bhartesh ji do not cover such remote relationship.
