I'm not familiar with the spit setup, but generally speaking, you are
right in your assumptions. The clutch should ideally be starting to be
disengaged when starting to press the pedal, i.e. right at the top. To
get most of the air out, it is a good idea to have the piston of the
slave pushed in with the aid of a clamp. This can be an air trap. Loops
can trap air as well. Best thing next to having no loop is to bleed
under vacuum.
