Chiralities in refmac dictionaries are local just like in smile
strings. You can of course put atoms by their priorities then
you will have correspondence to R/S assignments. However you do not
have to do it.
In many case I find it useful to put chirality 'both' and then refine
against this dictionary. This way you can handle severla stereoisomers
(configurations) with the same dictionary.
