i see the program can increase maxconnections or switches but not sure how to pass those arguments. my son has take great interest in guitars and has built himself and I one. i wanna hook him up but different then mine. i built a 7 way from diagrams yaw helped me with. took me awhile to understand the switching and relays from the basic setups but the complexity stuff yaw can create is a rarity.
1 vol 2 tone pots tones are push pull and have 2 different caps on each leg i have a dpdt and a push pull volume pot 250k with a 150k resistor wired in.
i would like to accomplish the following if possible. i think with my boss gt1 and and a slueth of pickup configurations we can create some wild stuff hopefully. 1: B 2: B+M
3: M 4: M+N 5: N 6: B+M+N 7: B+N
8: B x N 9: M x N 10: B x M +N 11: B + M x N

I take it you are willing to lose the alternate capacitors on the tone pot push/pulls to achieve the other combos, correct? And perhaps lose the Vol pot resistor on the push/pull, too?
If you repurpose one of the push/pulls as a "bridge on" switch (or neck on, either way), you will get the first 7 combinations on your list- all 7 possible parallel combinations of 3 pickups (ignoring phase options).
Another push/pull could then be repurposed as a series/parallel switch on either the neck or bridge pickup, to put that pickup in series with whatever is selected by the 5-way switch. If you wired it to the neck pickup, let's say, you would then add the N X B, N X M, and N X (B + M). You wouldn't have the M X B or M X (B + N). To get those other 2 combos, you'd have to have a second series/parallel switch (which could be the third push/pull) on either the middle or bridge pickup.
I frankly doubt a second series/parallel switch will be worth the extra effort and complexity. Several of those combos where one pickup is in parallel with 2 others in series won't sound appreciably different from one another (assuming the pickups are of the same type/construction). B X (M + N) will probably not sound too different from B + (M X N), for example. Just my 2¢.
