What part?

Bit scary

The way that reads to me is. If you have more than four appliences you can connect to single phase and if you have less than four appliences you connect to three phase

I think heating unit means elements?

So the lower power models have fewer heating elements and are single phase, but the company also makes more powerful 3-phase models with more heating elements?

I am far from capable but looks simple enough to me.

Same here. Which seems the wrong way round.

The hob elements are big resistors, and are arranged as two sub units within the appliance (there may be 2 or 4 rings/elements).

If you had a 3~ supply, then L1 to 4, L2 to 3, and L3 to 1 and 2 which are commoned. Phase to phase voltage = 380-415V, no neutral.

If you had a 1~ supply, then L1 to 4 and 3 commoned, and N to 1 and 2 commoned. Phase to neutral voltage = 220-240V.
