Per Page 51 of the ARB:
"You may buy more than four Spell Slots per level but there always must be at least as many Spell Slots below that level in order to support the new amount. Further, the pyramid must be constantly building, which means the level above must only have one more than the amount you are buying."
This is creating confusion due to the bolded.
It is my believe that the wording intends to mean the difference between the level above and the level I am buying cannot exceed one prior to purchase.
Example:
44
333
2222
1111
In this example, I can clearly buy a 5th level spell. But per the rules, I could also buy a 1st level spell, leaving me with
44
333
2222
11111
Now, the question is this: Could I also buy an additional 1st level spell? Consider figure 5.
5
44
3333
22222
11111
According to the example, this is a legal build, meaning that the bolded word clearly indicates that the difference of one only applies prior to purchase. Otherwise
1
Could never become
11.
2
11
could never become
2
111
Ergo, this wording indicates the following spell pyramids would also be legal
77 (2)
6666 (4)
555555 (6)
44444444 (8)
3333333333 (10)
222222222222 (12)
11111111111111 (14)
Also
3
222
11111
Or other variations.
I can find no rule that would otherwise prohibit this, and I can honestly see little ramifications if this sort of build weren't prohibited. However, can you confirm if this is legitimate?
