Let me help!
If you look at the sub cuts you'll see they are 2 1/2 inches wide and shorter than the original WOF cuts (Width of fabric is wof)
You cut the first cuts into the sizes in the subcut section

No question here is stupid. The people here have helped me learn so much.
I believe it means to cut the first strips. Then recut them to the "subcut" measurements.
The last one I cut said cut 6 - 2 1/2 inch x wof strips. Then sub cut those strips into 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 pieces.
