If you have three patch series originally and the second one is too big, then you'd end up with four patch series whose second and third corresponds to the second patch of the original series, and the last patch of the updated series that is numbered 4 will correspond to the third one from the original. That is perfectly normal and you can see the correspondence with help from tools like range-diff.
