The same can be explained with the help of an example:

Example 1 :
 Suppose the duration of the study has been determined to be 4 years. This means a student can stay in the Netherlands for a maximum period of 6 years plus one year as preparatory year (if applicable).

Example 2:
 Suppose the student after studying for 1 year decides to change to some other study with study duration of 4 years. If the student has not previously studied in the Netherlands, than he/ she would have had a maximum of 6 years for this study. But now the years the student have already spent in the previous study (which the student abandoned without completing), will be deducted from these 6 years. Therefore the student now have a maximum of 5 years for this new study.
