Torque Notation

When the service manual says to torque the connecting rod bolts to 4 + 1 mkp and them rotate 90 + 10 degrees, what does that mean for the initial torque? Torque to 4 mkp then 5 mkp then 90 degrees OR torque to 4 (not more than 5) mkp and turn 90 degrees.

I can't find a definitive answer in my service manual, and I can't just guess at it since there is a considerable difference between 29 and 36 ft lbs before you crank it down another 90 degrees.
