Hi,

what combinations do you exactly want?

Do you want Neck, Neck+Middle, Middle, Middle+Bridge, Bridge and the option to put the Bridge in parallel? Then it would be easiest to take a strat diagram and combine it with a push-pull diagram to put the humbucker in series or parallel mode.

Or do you want to switch two pickups in series instead of the regular parallel operation?

Thanks I was thinking and the easy way is to have normal hss ( bridge hb)/(bridge hb +middle)/ (middle)/ (middle+ neck)/ (neck) and with dpdt switch split the bridge to have ( bridge sc)/ (bridge sc +middle)/ (middle)/ (bridge sc+ neck)/ (neck) ...!!!

Yes, that would be pretty straight forward - take a strat wiring of your choice and add the Dpdt split switch to the humbucker.

If you have two tone controls, I would use one for neck and middle and one for the bridge pickup. That would also allow you to choose different tone caps for the singles and the humbucker which I personally find very useful.
