Fielding positions for a spinner

Jumno

State Regular
For a off/left arm spinner:

On the off side:

-Slip
-Forward short leg

I assume a point?
I assume a extra cover?

If it's a 5 off side, 4 onside (maybe a cover)

On side:

-Leg slip
-Short leg

-I assume a short long leg?
-I assume a mid wicket?
-I assume a mid on?

Would it be:

4 on the off and 5 fielders on the legside?
OR 5 on the off side and 4 on the leg side?

There are five fielders left, where would I place the other 5 fielders. This fielding position is used in test matches often.
