The top quadrants has bottom betweener too low (or the betweenee charge needs to be shrunk for it to fit).

There is about 160px between the upper and lower annulets .. in both qtrs 1 and 4. Thus, the spacing in Q1 is figured based on the height of the lower quarters. Reblazoning with distinct quarters (i.e. 1st [...], 2nd & 3rd [...] 4th [...] makes no difference — so it's not the syntax of 1st & 4th confusing matters.

The bottom quadrant has the betweenee charge drawn larger, probably to fit the taller space ... which is unfortunate as the betweeners haven't been repositioned.

The fleur de lys in Q4 being larger is a known \<ahem> behaviour, and IIRC the sizing algo is due for a nudge/tweak. So the real issue here is mainly just the Q1/Q2 positioning for between 3 X.

Testing between 4 X is also interesting...

Note how the sizes of 3 and 4 annulets are the same, but the between 4 has the bottom 2 higher.
