Correct, this is why you need the third constraint - as smart as pacemaker is, its nowhere as good as a human brain.
So while it is obvious to us that "ms_disk_R" and "ms_disk_S" need to go on the same node, pacemaker will need the extra hint.

Suggestion, do this:

colocation disk_S_with_disk_R inf: ms_disk_S:Master ms_disk_R:Master
colocation vm_with_disk_S inf: vm_srv ms_disk_S:Master

For ordering you want as much parallelism as possible, for colocation - chains work best.
