Further maths in a gap year for Oxford

Hi I do bio chem maths a levels and further maths AS level. I am in year 13 and set to sit these a levels in five months. I am taking a gap year afterwards, so l can take further maths A level. I will take further maths in the gap year and my school will provide me with a predicted grade for it, and I intend on applying to Oxford for maths, as I deeply regret not taking further maths as it is my passion to do maths. I will therefore apply with 3 A* achieved and an A* PREDICTED in further maths. Will this disadvantage my application, since I am doing further maths separate to the other subjects and in a gap year ?

What if I did 3 a levels ( including further mayhs ) in the gap year - would this disadvantage my application since the maths and further maths are in different years ?
