Regarding the "plug in" process you mention, that's actually a good analogy for what happens between these docs, which are used in a seed round, and the larger set of docs that are used in a next round like a Series A. Believe it or not, these Series Seed docs are significantly stripped down from what Series A docs look like.
Not sure if that entirely answers your question or not, but let me know if there's anything I can help out with.
