(an answer, previously an initial comment on March 30)

The measure is seeking an "insulating layer" to adjust, i.e. a layer in the construction offering the greatest R-value. As such, the measure ignores a 0mm layer. Ensure the added material initially offers more thermal resistance than the others, e.g. LAYER 2:

 - LAYER 1: brick (89mm, RSI 0.12)
 - LAYER 2: XPS (10mm, RSI 0.42)
 - LAYER 3: brick (89mm, RSI 0.12)
