Yes. That is the way it works. It was just a matter of terminology.

Jerome Grisanti made a very clever discovery one night when he had
six couples who wanted to dance. He called a square that DID have
definite moves for the heads and side, and he designated the fifth
and sixth couples as "others". So after the heads had done the
figure, he had the sides do it, and then the OTHERS. It's more of a
mental challenge for the caller, but that is one of the perks of
calling squares.
I would think you'd want to have the 3rd and 6th couples as the
"others":
Normal
H
1 1
S 2 4 S
2 4
3 3

With six couples
H
1 1
S 2 6 O
2 6
3 5
O 3 5 S
4 4
H
If you have the 5th and 6th couples as the "others" instead then the
choreography is really weird.
