The RPU is just the metadata. Profiles 5 and 8.* don’t use a second encoded video layer. That’s just a legacy mode these days, as the dual-layer approach had a lot more bitrate and decode overhead.

Dual layer made a lot of sense when 8-bit H.264 encoders were standard, but with 10-bit HEVC it because a lot less necessary. Plus all the non-backwards compatible shaping used in Profile 5.
