Technically, subslot can be seen as a slot I think, so we can bikeshed if you'd like :) I see the subslots part only as extra information for subslots in case they can be factored. If some slot differs from the rest, it can be documented in its slot part. If all slots differ, just describe subslot meaning in slot part and skip subslot part.
