I would say 'depending on the Hue areas configuration' to insist on the fact
that the configuration can be changed by the application.

How about simply 'n = S / 8' ?

This sounds a bit confusing to me. How about the following ?
"The Hue position **m** (0 - 5) of the bucket [in the matrix]* depends on how
the HGT Hue areas are configured. There are 6 user configurable Hue Areas
which can be configured to cover overlapping Hue values:
[diagram]
When two consecutive areas don't overlap (n+1L is equal to nU) the boundary
value is considered as part of the lower area.
Pixels with a hue value included in the centre of an area (between nL and nU
included) are are attributed to that single area and given a weight of 16.
Pixels with a hue value included in the overlapping region between two areas
(between n+1L and nU excluded) are attributed to both areas and given a weight
for each of these areas proportional to their position along the diagonal
lines (rounded down)."
* Add "in the matrix" depending on the wording of the saturation description.

What's the rationale for including the boundaries in the statistics buffer ?
Boundaries are configured by userspace, they should be known to the
application already.
