What is unclear to me in the examples in your colored cells PDF is the order for applying the omission rules. In some cases like the first paragraph of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. you have all three colors at the same time: type one (magenta), type two (blue), type three (green).
The type 3 rule is unclear too: what does "a specific region" mean?
Sometimes, the result depends on the order you apply the rules, and whether removals are done in a second pass, after identification of the repetition patterns or if they are done in a single pass (search, remove, repeat): then the direction of search, left to right or right to left matters.
Identification then removal:
ay by cy -> a b c
Single pass, left to right:
ay by cy -> a b cy
Looking at your colored cells PDF it seems to be the former.
Type 1, then 2, then 3, then loop. Got it I think.

Quote:The order of deletions was according to the number of the rules in such a way that first the repetitions of type 1 were reduced to one, then frequent repetitions of type 2 were removed. Finally, type 3 repetitions were removed from the remaining text. This order of removing repetitions continued until no form of repetition remained.
Type 1, then 2, then 3, then loop. Got it I think.
