Take the total time since you have been a AC to include Primary, Secondary and other and put that in one colum. Multiply this total by .90. This is an ethical trade off. The .90 signifies that you had sorties just like the rest of us when you flew either with a more experienced rank heavy AC or an IP. So if you have 1000 hours your telling them that you only had 900 becuase you are taking into consideration these facts. Your IP time stands alone. By logging IP time your are stating that you were providing instruction and were the person in charge while doing so. EP time is a little bit different, when you are evaluating you are not assuming either seat and unlike IP you didn't sign for the jet. This should be placed in a different colum all togther. Your Primary and secondry time as a copilot should count as SIC. Your other time as a CO should count just like your student time towards your military total time but not as SIC. Clear as mud? I believe that if you can stand behind your claims and are able to explain yourself you'll be fine. Know the FAR/AIM and 11-401 and be able to answer questions if they come up. If you can't explain it then don't log it. Make sense. Hope it helps and if someone has something concrete in writing I would love to see it.
