How's this for a guess?
If we are liberal in our terminology, we can say that the current UI has 6 places to "program" a level.
This gives you 12 levels. With 18 modes, there will be 6 new levels. Why not assign them to the groups that end in "1"?
Now there are 18 modes.
At present, you select Low, Medium, or High before entering program mode. It does not matter whether mode "1" or "2" is active when you do this. The level you select in program mode is always assigned to mode "2."
For example, suppose you select High, and then double-click (if necessary) to switch to H1. If you then reprogram High mode, the new level will be assigned to H2. It does not matter that H1 was active when you entered program mode.
One way to implement the 18 modes described above would be to respect mode "1" and "2" when you enter program mode. Under this scheme, if H1 were active, then H1 would be the mode that was reprogrammed.
Simple, plausible, and almost certainly wrong!

H1 – 1 choice
H2 – 3 choices
M1 – 1 choice
M2 – 3 choices
L1 – 1 choice
L2 – 3 choices
H2 – 3 choices
