Great summary!
If taking a split daily rest (3 hrs then 9 hrs) that is a minimum of 12 hours rest so the max working time for that 24-hour period is 12 hours (you wrote 15 hours in the post) for it to be inside the 24-hour window.

Daily Rest
Must have a daily rest period of at-least 11 hours within the 24 hour period from the start of the shift (maximum 13 hour shift).
The daily rest period can be reduced to 9 hours 3 times between 2 weekly rest periods (maximum 15 hour shift).
Reduced daily rest periods do not have to be compensated for.
A regular daily rest period can be taken in two parts, the first part can be taken at any time and must be at-least 3 consecutive hours, the second part must be at-least 9 consecutive hours and must be completed within 24 hours from the start of the shift (maximum 15 hour shift).

A shift is generally regarded as the time from when you start work to when you finish work, if you’re having a split daily rest you must finish work no later than 15 hours from when you started work, that is a maximum 15 hour shift
Example of a split daily rest using a 15 hour shift
Work/drive 6 hours
Rest 3 hours (rest rules not break rules)
Work/drive 6 hours
Rest 9 hours
That is a 15 hour shift with a regular daily rest

The only thing it hasn’t got is the few extra bits from the August 2020 update to drivers hours
