2 tricky A320 questions

Hello, I `m currently doing the A320 type rating and just got 2 questions.

1) QRH Landing with Slats or Flaps Jammed

There is a table with maximum speeds for different configurations. Why can you choose a slat setting of above 3 (last column). In my opinion we just have 3 different slat settings, but obviously we can have a configuration of more than 3? How is this possible? It´s not the flap lever we´re talking here, right?

2)QRH Fuel leak checklist Case 2
If both inner tanks deplete at a similar rate. A leak from the Center tank or the APU feeding line may be suspected.

Why does a leak in the APU feeding line let the both inner tanks deplete at a similar rate? I think the APU is feeded by the left fuel manifold, so the left tank should deplete more than the right one!


If anyone can help me explaining these questions, that woud be more than great.

Thanks
