I think 2.2(7) makes it clear that the above is three lexical elements,
not five.

I am puzzled. 2.2(7) says
7 One or more separators are allowed between any two adjacent lexical
elements, before the first of each compilation, or after the last. At least
one separator is required between an identifier, a reserved word, or a
numeric_literal and an adjacent identifier, reserved word, or numeric_
literal.
But neither the 3 token nor the 5 token interpretations have or need
separators, so how is this paragraph relevant?
Not that there is a problem anyway!!!!
