 None of the above.

 The field labelled as "tag" is the N/M rate spec. Every unique tag
 value has its own pool, just like you do not have to specify the exact
 IP addresses for the other pools.

 So you are wanting "delay_parameter X N/M"

 Thanks for the question. I'm clarifying the docs now to make that
 clearer.
