Instead of re-interpreting it is best to provide a direct reference,
or at least an unedited quote of the specificied requirements with
enough context so the specs make sense...

Clearly "PQ" is always zero mod Q, so you seem to want P = 1 mod Q,
which is only possible if P is the larger of the two primes.
