Hi Gabriel
In case it's any use I used the info on the website to create an excel doc which helped explain the webpa weighting.
https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/peerassess/files/2013/08/WebPA-Worked-Examples-and-Graphs.xlsx
You can change the group mark/PA weighting on sheet 2 and see the results dynamically.
Best wishes
Nuala
