AL6233 is a subpart of AL62 that is 1/81 of AL62 in size. AL623 is a subpart of AL62 that is 1/9 of AL62 in size.
Imagine AL62 divided into 9 squares arranged in a 3 by 3 grid. The 3 squares in the first row are numbered 1 , 2 and 3. The squares in the middle row are numbered 4, 5 and 6. The bottom row 7, 8 and 9.
AL623 is the square in the top right corner of AL62
AL62:
+-----+-----+-----+
|AL621|AL622|AL623|
+-----+-----+-----+
|AL624|AL625|AL626|
+-----+-----+-----+
|AL627|AL628|AL629|
+-----+-----+-----+
Now imagine AL623 itself similarly divided into a 3 by 3 grid.
AL6233 is the top right square of that grid.
AL623:
+------+------+------+
|AL6231|AL6232|AL6233|
+------+------+------+
|AL6234|AL6235|AL6236|
+------+------+------+
|AL6237|AL6238|AL6239|
+------+------+------+
In context:
+------+------+------+------+------+
|AL3889|AL3897|AL3898|AL3899|AL3977|
+------+------+------+------+------+
|AL6223|AL6231|AL6232|AL6233|AL6311|
+------+------+------+------+------+
|AL6226|AL6234|AL6235|AL6236|AL6314|
+------+------+------+------+------+
|AL6229|AL6237|AL6238|AL6239|AL6317|
+------+------+------+------+------+
|AL6253|AL6261|AL6262|AL6269|AL6341|
+------+------+------+------+------+
Colour key:
WHITE: AL6233 itself
YELLOW: the other 8 members of AL623
ORANGE: some of the other 72 members of AL62 (there are 5 more columns of AL62 to the left, and 5 more rows of AL62 below, that are not shown here)
RED: some of the other 648 members of AL6
DARK RED: some of the other 5832 members of AL
The yellow and white together are referred to as AL623.
The 9 x 9 grid of which AL6233 is the top right corner is referred to as AL62.
Hope that was more helpful than confusing.
