Vector clock usage example- Why [A,3]?

Suppose the network partition is repaired, and the client requests a write again, but now we have conflicts. The context
([A,3],[B,1],[C,1])
of the conflicts are returned to the client.

Why it’s [A,3]? after the network is repaired, shouldn’t it be ([A,2],[B,1],[C,1]) and E5 (A,3)]?
