No, that's not right.  It's ordinary serpentine.  I don't have one, but
I just checked the Microcomputer Handbook myself, and it's definitely
like this:

 A    B      C    D
      processor
option 2    option 1
option 3    option 4
option 6    option 5

It's on page 6-3, and the expansion options, with the cable coming from
where I've shown "option 6", are shown on 6-19.  It's also shown in the
same arrangement on page 426 of the Microcomputer Interfaces Handbook.
