14. The configuration space of the system is assumed large enough so that for each of the sampled elements the sphere of radius r M does not cross the boundary of the system.

21. We have used the two-body entropy expression given by Eq.; the same result can be obtained starting from the expression but in this case a further Lagrange multiplier enforcing a normalization condition on g (r) has to be introduced.

23. If we perform the same expansion starting from the multinomial distribution [Eq.] we obtain a multivariate Gaussian distribution in which the correlations between different shells are imposed by the constraint [Eq.]. However, in the asymptotic limit the off-diagonal elements of the covariance matrix become negligible and we obtain again the result.
