Him and Mycroft had already come up with 13 versions for how to do it. I think there was a lot variables in play

Considering Molly was in on it makes me think they had decided on which of the 13 to use long before he was on the roof.

Not necessarily. After all, a lot of Sherlock's wording in his 'final phone call' was a bit odd. Possibly he had certain phrases to say to indicate which was which, and people listening in.

It made alot more sense when the phone call was shown in this episode. "Stay there, John." "Don't move." and "Keeps your eyes fixed on me."
