I don't think the question is a valid one.

Which run, within the runspercycle, depends on which DLE you consider.

Each DLE will receive its Level 0 according to when amanda finds it
most appropriate for its own planning and scheduling.  Consider the
situation on Friday for these three hypothetical DLEs, A, B, and C.

  DLE   Dump Level On
         M T W T F
   A     0 1 1 2
   B     1 1 0 1
   C     2 0 1 1

For A, I would say it is run 5.  For B it is run 3 and C is run 4.

BTW don't be fooled by your Tuesday's run of all level 0's.  Amanda must
start with level 0's but will eventually spread them over different days.
