Wiring diagram for HSS all humbuckers

I have a HSS Jackson that I am putting 2 dimarzio rail humbuckers and a SD RTM in. I have this diagram

I am wondering if I use this diagram will the in between switch positions be splitting 2 pickups, IE giving me one of each coil from 2 pickups next to each other?

Also will just running 1 volume pot, no tone.

If not could anyone point me in the direction of a diagram that would achieve that? I've been playing a long time but am only recently getting into the details of this kind of stuff.

Any help would be much appreciated.

That diagram does not split the Rail pickups in any of the 5 positions, but it does split the Humbucker when its combined with the Middle rail in Position 2.
 
Agree with Jack above. It is simple to delete the tone control, but you need to have a ground connection between the volume pot and the output jack.

Rail pickups typically lose a lot of output when they are split. Dimarzio knew what they are doing when they created this diagram. It's very similar to what I use with two rail pickups. If you want to make the guitar more stratty and chimey, you can add a treble bleed circuit although its a matter of preference.

This Seymour Duncan diagram from https://www.seymourduncan.com/resources/pickup/wiring-diagrams can be taeaked to do what you want. 1. You need to convert the pickup wiring color shown for the two SD Stack pickups to the Dimarzio color code for your Dimarzio rails, 2. You need a 5 way superswitch (has 4 poles vs just 2 that a Standard has), and 3. Simply don't wire up the tone pot shown.

I found that diagram by setting the dropdown choice for "type of pickups" to "Strat" and then for each of the three pickup positions, choosing "stack", and then for pickup selector, choosing "5 way superswitch".
