Of course you do - you very likely didn't start programming in assembler.
You literally asked "How do I get to .." implying you wanting street instructions, distances, etc.
In assembler the third element begins literally and straightforwardly at the address base plus two (element widths).
That's not "a quirky adaption" is it? It's a dull pragmatic address of the start of the third element - the answer to the question you posed.
