B777 Exit Hold function FMS

Hi there,

According to FMS guide,

"The pattern is shortened if EXIT is ARMED while flying turn number 1, or the first turn after crossing the holding fix"

The 2 bold sentences seem to mean the same thing. I just want to confirm, as long as we exit hold when entering the hold in the first turn, the pattern will be shortened to an orbit, confirm?

What will happen if I execute exit hold the moment the aircraft fly straight and level from the 1st turn? It will fly 1 hold and exit when passing the holding fix?

Thanks
