How can I let higher priority Slurm jobs pass through while not sharing individual CPUs among tasks?

My IT department kindly set me up with a Linux VM with Slurm and I’m learning commands. I’m changing numbers a bit, but let’s say there are 2 nodes each with 5 cores/CPUs (I think they’re the same here?). I want to run 6 independent iterations of a function, with 3 subtasks each. The first 2 subtasks (a, b) can be run in parallel, but the final one (c) requires the first 2 to finish. For simplicity we can say each subtask takes 1 minute.
