DRV8955: Difference Between Packages and Output Paralleling

Tool/software:

Hello,

While working on my design using the DRV8955, I noticed that the package for PWP and RGE differ slightly.

It seems that the PWP has two pins per output. I was just wondering why that was.

And to follow up - when using the MODE pin to adjust between the amount of solenoids being driven, are the pins paralleled internally or am I required to short them external to the chip? I would like to test multiple configurations and do not want to short it externally if I do not have to in order to reduce the amount of PCB revisions I do.

Regarding the H-bridge configuration, would I just be connecting the load between two OUTx pins?

Thanks in advance.
