Yes.  That is the way it works.  It was just a matter of terminology.

I would think you'd want to have the 3rd and 6th couples as the
"others":

Normal


     H 
    1 1
S 2     4 S 
  2     4
    3 3
     H


With six couples

     H
    1 1
S 2     6 O
 2       6
 3       5
O 3     5 S
    4 4
     H

If you have the 5th and 6th couples as the "others" instead then the
choreography is really weird.
