I'm pretty sure this is all in Frank's book which is pretty much the bible on progressive slots.

It was indeed covered in my book in depth with exact formulas. But I also said in the book that it generally isn't worth worrying about unless you are dealing with multi-meters with a lot of meter-rise.
The phenomenon is called Meter-Disparity by the progressive players I know. I have a detailed description on how to figure out how much meter-disparity costs you, and a walk-through of a 5-7-T Double Bonus 5-Meter playing for any of the 5 meters and how "either or" plays are calculated when two or more meters bring the return to play level. It's all there, but here's the thing!
When I wrote it, I never expected even one single person to ever use it. It's all stuff that has an exact version and a seat of the pants version that's so much simpler no one does all the math.
I included it just in case, because I wanted the book to be complete.
I'd love to tell you that you need to know the long method and that you have to buy my book to learn it, but that simply isn't true.
Know that meter-disparity always costs you (and never helps you) and add a little to your start number.
