Jimmy,
Yes - as far as your question goes on subs - just consider both the DP and the Flex another couple of starters. The coach may sub for one, the other, or both at any time.

Now, the Flex playing offense for the DP is not a sub - because the Flex was already in the game. It is an exit from the game by the DP, because the DP has left the game.

On the other side, when the DP plays defensively for the Flex, the Flex has left the game. Remember that this is not the same as the Flex still playing defense AND the DP playing defense for somebody else - that is perfectly legal with nobody having left the game.
