A330-200F Configuration question

Having been a Loadmaster on mainly Boeing fleets (and some other more "specialist" aircraft types) I have a question regarding ULD configuartions on the new Airbus A330-200F aircraft.

On the B747F, up to and including the -400F, there was the possibility of a mixed config in the nose of the main deck - A1, A2, B1 or A/B. A choice of two possibilities.
Likewise on the lower deck.

On my limited viewing of the A330-200F there would appear to be more available configs on the main deck - at least three, possibly four. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So, my question is - what is the most commonly used config? Do you usually use one or two configs, or more?

I'm thinking along the lines of how it would/could be handled in a computerised weight and balance application which currently allows a choice of two available configurations.
