sorry to hear about the standard 5-way.
there is a way to get around the problems you will create with mini-toggle 2.
you can get just
exactly what you specified, in the
exact positions with a 4PDT ON-ON-ON switch.
the PROBLEM is that in position 4 of the stock 5-way,
ANYTHING connected to position 3, will be added to anything connected to position 5.
that results gives you position 4.
since the mini-toggle will change what is on position 3,
the change will
also affect the combination in position 4.
as you have probably guessed, the same thing happens in position 2. 1 and 3 combine to result as 2.
i don't think you want 2 and 4 to change when mini-toggle 2 is changed.
so, you will probably want to get a 4P5T superswitch instead of the stock 5-way.
the switch you will need for mini-toggle 2 can be found on the top of this post, in the center column:

i'm still writing, i'll continue this in a few minutes............................
okay, i'm back.
changing HB configuration from series to parallel, and
also changing the phase, relative to the other pickups, while also having a position with a single, might be do-able, but i haven't looked too closely at it.
i know you CAN:
change the phase BETWEEN the 2 coils, when you go to parallel, and have
all 3 in exactly the positions you described.
you can also easily (you only need a 2PDT ON-ON-ON switch) go from (local) series HB to (local) parallel keeping the same phase, with a single in the middle position.
in fact, i already have a post about that:
guitarnuts2.proboards45.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=schem&thread=1145315219&post=1157994747if you must have the
positions you specified, that can be done, but with the 4PDT ON-ON-ON instead.
again i haven't determined if the phase can be changed.
re: RWRP middle pickup?
absolutely NOT necessary.
since you can chose which single you use from each HB, RWRP won't help anything.
it won't hurt either.
as they used to say: "mox nix" (sic)
if you want me to think further about changing phase (global) when going to parallel, i can tell you in a day or two if it's possible or impossible.
well, anythings
possible.
but i mean in terms of switches you can actually buy.
should i continue to think about changing phase?
