Regarding armour protection mechanics

Ok, so, there are armours that are single pieces (chest, vambraces, spaulders, etc), and there are armours that are a bundle of many pieces. Trying to select between one another I get confused in the general armour rating I would have. For instance if one setup of single pieces says:
- Chest: Slash 4, Pierce 3
- Vambraces: Slash 3, Pierce 2
- Spaulders: Slash 2, Pierce 2
And another setup of a bundle of complete armour says:
- Slash 5, Pierce 4

Which one gives me the best rating overall? If in the first setup of single pieces my overall rating is the sum of all pieces, then my overall rating would be Slash 9, Pierce 7? The other setup made of a complex armour with many pieces, does the Slash 5, Pierce 4, mean that I have that protection in my chest, shoulder and forearm?

The 2nd setup is better, it covers more than the 1st setup and provides more protection, the dots do not add up for the 1st setup, the 4 slash resistance of the chest armor only applies to your chest, if you're hit in the shoulder, then you will only have 2 slash resistance of protection.
