External crystal load capacitance

I'm attempting to compute values for the load caps I need.  I understand the equation is C1 = C2 = 2(CL - Cstray)...but I'm having a problem figuring out exactly what to use for Cstray.  Looking at the data sheet for my mcu (FR5739), it says that the integrated effective load capacitance is 1 pF, but there is a little note that says "Include parasitic bond and package capacitance(approximately 2pF per pin)".

 

Does this imply that Cstray is 5pF (2* 2pF + 1pF)?
