As handled in the " 4333, 4432 scheme" chapter by the central and final 2 bid you know this shape.

You can proceed with 2 as relay for game or more or with the 2 relay for game only.
Furthermore:
3 asking for + + stopper, or 3 for + stopper.
3 asking for 3 or 4 card support, or 3 asking for 3 or 4 card support

If not through the 2 bid but 'directly' through
2 or 2 meaning a 4333 good quality or max. in the given range, RR may and must have the possibility to Pass resp. to bid a non-forcing 2 inspite of his previous positive relay.
