Hi Giles, As far as I know, the mobile device preference (30001) means that we will do a best effort to serve this ad on mobile, but it's not 100% guaranteed. The other two ads will serve on desktop and mobile. If you want them to serve only on desktop, you'd want to set a very low bid modifier on mobile for these ads.
Other than that, the ads should work as you expect. Though, this is a product-specific question, so I recommend posting on https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/# and ask a Google Community manager to confirm. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
