The typo is when the formula doesn't work ie. the example quoted above is the place where protein is mispelled.

Got the typo fixe 
So the 5 grams of carbs is per serving, and the 42 grams is per box?
The tool will allow either one as a serving, as long as you enter the weight of the serving, or the weight of the entire content.
The 38 vs 42 can't be helped, as labeling regulations have run a mock. Some list carbs with fiber subtracted, some don't. Whichever way we go, there will be labels doing it the other way around.
For this reason, I made sure the custom food entry spells it out "Carbohydrate, by difference (fiber subtracted)"
