BQ24092: Exposed pad dimensions and board layouts

Part Number: BQ24092

This part’s datasheet (http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24095.pdf)., in pages 35 to 39 describes two different “Exposed Thermal Pad Dimensions” and corresponding examples of board layouts for the same part and package. Why are they different and which one should be used?
