What is certain is that if you want seven mods, you need to count the ballots for seven seats. That's what STV can do.

Selecting the alternates by looking at who the last two eliminated candidates were is problematic, because of the random elimination in case of a tie (in December, there were many tied candidates, and the winning alternates depend on the random elimination). There was some discussion about this after the first by-elections, but it went nowhere.
