Everything i have read on the rule assumes that 3 substitutions would have been made in normal time.
This is from the description of the rule for the FA cup (cant find anything on the National League website).
In accordance with Emirates FA Cup competition rules, a maximum of seven substitutes may be nominated for a game, and a club may, at its discretion, use three of those seven substitute players at any time in a match during normal time. This season, in the event that extra-time is played in any match in the competition proper, a club may use one additional player from the nominated seven substitutes during the period of extra-time
