October vs January for application with Cambridge

My son is applying to Cambridge this year. He is realistic about his chances and knows he needs good alternatives on his application.

He has settled on three out of the five courses. Must he decide on all five ahead of the October deadline for Cambridge or can he submit what he knows now and finish the rest by January

He can submit his application by the October deadline, with those he knows by then, and then add the others later.

I know of someone who did this last year without issue.
As above, its perfectly okay to apply to Cambridge now and add his other choices later.
