Trying to keep track of which section of a single cutout need G41,

No this is wrong.
Re read Mike reply #7682
Don't think of the cutter being above or below the line, this will
confuse you.
Think in terms of what side of the line is the cutter when the tool
is moving forward.
If you are cutting an internal square and you start top left corner
and move to top right the cutter will always be to the right of the
line no matter what side it is cutting.
