" (B) The remainder of such sums shall be used to increase by a uniform percentage the allotment of each of the States whose allotments were not subject to reduction under paragraph (4), but with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allotment of any of such States from being so increased as to require reduction under paragraph (4).

" (B) After such portion has been paid in full, any remaining portions of a State's allotment shall be available for payment to such State of an amount equal to its Federal share (determined as provided in section 11(i)) of such cost for which payments have not been made under subparagraph (A). " (3) For the purposes of this subsection— " (A) a State's adjusted Federal share for any fiscal year means— "(i) in the case of any fiscal year ending prior to July 1, 1959, the 1954 Federal share for such State; and "(ii) in the case of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1960, June 30, 1961, or June 30, 1962, the Federal share for such
