I was mulling over this months ago, and I'm mad at myself that I forgot all about it when it became relevant.
The reason Yesh Atid grabbed first in line for list submission is because they want to claim the פה symbol before their former partner Blue & White can do so. #Israelex4

My guess is Judge Vogelman will not allow Blue & White to simply use the same two letters in reverse (הפ), or even just one of them alone (ה or פ), due to the potential for confusion. But they can use one of these and one free letter, if they like.
This also explains why Yamina is second. Like Yesh Atid, they also have former list partners who will fight them for the טב symbol.
That situation is more complicated because טב has belonged to the Jewish Home for decades. If Yamina tries to use it there may be legal challenges.

Gideon Sa'ar's New Hope party can also use the letters פ and ה, since it represents the Derekh Eretz faction in the Knesset which was also drawn from the same list.
