factor smooth interaction: if the factor has more than two levels, there will be more than one interaction term.
Couldn’t tell if that will be captured in your naming convention s_x_BYorderedFactor
if there were three levels, and level A was the reference level, then gam returns s(x):levelB and s(x):levelC. Each term reflects the difference in the smooth function between that level of the factor and the reference level of the factor. So s(x):levelB is the difference between the smooths for level B and A
