Yes, you are correct that only one overlay can be used, but I don't
think there are many composites. Deleted takes precedence over
everything, I think. If you have marked a file for deletion,
presumably you no longer care about it.

Conflict can only occur on a modified file, so conflict must take
precedence over modified.

Added items cannot be modified, deleted or conflicted

Locked and read-only are low priority and only appear where there
would otherwise be a normal overlay.

If you want an order of precedence for 'overall status' I guess it must be:
Deleted (highest)
Conflicted
Modified
Locked
Read-only
Normal (lowest)

But note that if there are not enough slots available, the most
appropriate icon is displayed instead - that bit _is_ documented.
