Using the French way of thinking and the Airbus philosophy on ECAM and QRH use, gears down with doors, after a manual extension, would be the most penalizing, thus fuel flow times 2.8 for planning. Penalties are not additive. If they were, the pilot's brain would go into overload, hang or freeze and require a manual computer reset.
