A320 Slats > 3 reference ???

If one looks to the "Slats/ Flaps Jammed checklist" in the A320 QRH there is a matrix. This matrix is used to establish what configuration of Flap/ Slat you have and the applicable max speed for your config.
Example: In the simulator today I had Flaps at 3 and Slats at 0 configuration ( Slats jammed/ WTB on ). Max speed 177 knots.

Within that matrix there is reference to Slats > 3.

So here is my question/ confusion....The slats only go to 3. There is only 3 positions. Those been 18, 22 and 27 degrees. There is no greater than 3.

Any enlightenment please. Thanks so much.
