Take tuplets. If there are quintuplets, then it should be a 5' unless

the
3'. But a compose might want to change that.
I am not sure I understand that. Why use sextuplets when you could
just
use triplets as 3'+3'? I should think that sextuplets make most sense
when you need 2'+2'+2' as a rhythmic pattern.
I have had very little exposure to them, actually, that's just my
mathematical gut feeling.
It's just a CPP convention, mentioned in Hindemith, "Elementary
training", p. 116 f.
