Sounds like we have it not quite right on this other wiki page, too:

4. Calculate the number of RDM you will earn for each qualifying segment based on miles flown, booking class, and elite status. First calculate your base RDM at 1.0 RDM per mile flown, subject to the 500-mile minimum for elites only. Second, calculate any Class-of-Service Bonus RDM based on miles flown. Third, calculate any Elite Bonus RDM based on base RDM. Add the three figures to arrive at your Total RDM.
I suppose we've never analyzed an example where the miles flown were <500 for paid F.
