A heuristically useful (but factually incorrect) interpretation of these numbers is to assume that:
(1) everyone who voted in round one also voted in round two, and
(2) that everyone who voted for a candidate who made the runoff voted for that person again in round two.

Thus, the raw numbers above can be see as the number of voters for candidates who didn't make the second round who voted for one or the other of the remaining candidates, or in the alternative, voted for neither.
