No kidding! Makes it look like the spacer goes on the top when you see the order they drew A, B, and C. I can't quite make it out, but the ABC inset pic looks like the edge view with the particular ring shaded.

I can't offer any advice other than my sense that the objective of locating the gaps is to make the gases travel the most circuitous route if they're gonna pass through the gaps, but my sense is often uninformed. Last time I re-ringed a motor, it was a 67 chevy and the oil ring, as my memory allows, was not in three pieces. It was the car we took on our honeymoon trip, where our filling station stops were mostly fillup the oil, check the gas. It did allow the car to last until the fenders rusted through.
