The Outputs on the T4, including all possible outputs

Normally I use the two Main outputs.
Through lack of knowledge, I ask, does the L/R Output and the R output, have to be conceptualized  this way:
L/R boils down to Left side
Right, to Right side?

This has been my assumption.

But on one particular job, I had to reverse this. And frankly I did not notice a difference. I have historically only used headphones to hear T4 at home.
The various options for outputs, seems to suggest I need to setup the PA in my living room. I am now willing to do this. Due to pressure of being on a job when possibility of experimenting with outputs, is nil... I remain ignorant of the Outputs, and for last 11 years only use the two main outs.

A new situation has arisen.
My new bandleader has his L1 Bose to my Left
In essence I am playing through his monitor
This means when I need more drums, HE has to hear the drums louder than he wants.
He strongly urges me to give him BOTH Main Outs; saying they create a fuller stereo sound, as opposed to just one Output. I think, to my surprise, he is correct.
He explained- the Single Bose L1 speakers, reflect a stereo field, because half of them are angled in one direction, and the other half is aiming in a different direction. Kudos to Bose, a great company in my experience.

I absolutely need a speaker to my right.
This brings up an option I have not checked, until "tonight" ( actually yesterday ).
I tried the Sub outs earlier this evening...
I failed at using them. Missing parts seemed to be the case, but I was pressured to get up and going ( Heavy traffic on this evening ) and abandoned the Sub Out as I had hoped.

The idea of assigning different parts to these Subs is appealing ... I can hopefully get more drums and bass in my mix ( Sub Outs ) without overwhelming him.  Also, can I assign ALL PArts to Sub Outs? Or ANY combination of parts in the two Sub outs?

The Sub outs are a mystery to me... As much as you can offer ( links etc ) by way of explaining the 2 sub outs.. the headphone out!! the Aux sends , and any other potentially useful outputs on T4, Plus the Output assignment Page in the mixing Console - (the furthest page to the Right of Compression ) would be very helpful
.
Thank you
I use T4 as a drum machine. Playing my own acmp and bass. MIDI songs are my latest interest. If anyone wishes to share knowledge on MIDI songs let me know.

The Reference Manual offers sparse info on the Sub1 Sub2 Aux stuff.
