The math question is easy; you can't in general derive the right answer solely from the numbers you displayed. They're crude approximations of the cubeless wins/gammons rather than the actual wins/gammons. The potential cube/recube is of great importance, especially at 4a4a, and depends on the particular position and not just on the cubeless numbers.

The approximate cubeless numbers can guide you in your thinking about the position but they don't mathematically determine the cubeful equity.
