Note the difference in wording between article 4c and the next two, 4d and 4e. 4c uses "shall" and the other two use "may."
Not only may the offense not use the the first spaces if the defense declines, the defense may not decline to use them.

You're right it says "may", but it doesn't say that the other team may take the spots if the original team doesn't want them.
Does that mean that it's legal?
