You can also build a table of varying rpms/per gear to import into the SLM configuration. Remember, there is a hierarchy in that the channel order top to bottom is the priority.
I'm in class today with Chris Brown of MoTeC West here in the US and he spent quite a bit of time on this very example today. I don't have my notes so forgive my general and unpolished answer.
As usual, Geoffrey has the best information with the stepped RPM, lessening the split as the gears go up. Every driver is different and you should make sure you're not "anticipating" the top rpm/top gear situation by shifting early but instead setting Up Shift Light 4 to be triggered at your desired shift point in top.
The brake pressure light setup is easy enough once you set up channels for BP Front>300, BP Front>400,BP F>500 and BP F>600 (this example expressed in psi), but you should edge trigger it so that the RPM lights are disabled on downshifts and the Brake Pressure lights are the priority throughout slowing. I'll post examples tomorrow or Wednesday.

^ You gotta do a bit of programming in Motec.
Set various conditions corresponding to brake pressure >= a preset threshold.
Example will be BP_Cond1 triggers at 60bars F+R. BP_Cond2 at 80bars so on...
Program your SLM to have a cascading set of lights triggered by BP_Cond1 thru CondN in the same way you would the shift lights by RPM conditions.
This has been HUGELY helpful for me when learning the 997.
