It looks like this:

What does it mean?

It means that if you have both a disjunction

P1 v...v Pn

and the right number of the right sorts of subproofs, then you are entitled to enter a given sentence, S.

The right number of the right sorts of subderivations?

Yes.

For each disjunct, each Pi,  you need a subproof that starts with Pi and ends with sentence S.

You will need to cite the disjunction and each subproof.
