VTAC Requirements and other associated questions

I saw this on VTAC's website:
    "Restrictions on studies in the ATAR
Only one of the following combinations can be used in the best six (that is, in the calculation of the ATAR):
•   English/English as an Additional Language (EAL)
•   Chinese (FL)/Chinese (SL)/Chinese (SL Advanced)
•   Indonesian (FL)/Indonesian (SL)
•   Japanese (FL)/Japanese (SL)
•   Korean (FL)/Korean (SL)
•   Mathematical Methods (CAS)/Mathematical Methods (CAS).
In each of the study areas of English, mathematics, history, Contemporary Australian studies, information technology, languages and music:
•   at most two results can contribute to the primary four
•   at most three results can contribute to the ATAR, be they VCE results, Higher Education study results, or VET results."


    And I'm sure someone has asked the question before, but if you do the following course: English, Methods, Further, Specialist, EAL and Physics (I don't, just an example):
  • the 2 highest study scores (from the 3 Maths courses) are a part of your top 4
  • and only the higher English is used in the ATAR (assuming 7 subjects taken or as 5th/6th subject, if only 6 subjects completed)?

 I'm not sure about this, just clarifying this. If it is somewhere, could someone please post the link for me? I can't seem to find it.
  Thanks.

By any chance do you mean this? http://www.vtac.edu.au/results-offers/y12-atar/study-rules.html (towards the bottom)

That is indeed where I got it from. I was hoping for a link to another page here on AN that discusses the answer of the question I asked.
