I think the pack remains a 5+4+2 in any configuration. Those straps you mention used to configure the pack, are meant to be looped through the metal bracket as a tensioner when you tighten the main belt, i think. Or i'm wearing mine totally wrong! It says how to set it up with the card that comes with it 👍
im a 32 waist, should i get small or reg?
I would recommend the Regular size. The small fits me super snug and I'm a 31" waist. - Sam

I think it adds to the modular ability of this harness. It's extremely impressive and insanely comfortable.
