Basically, all the ISO that can be set in camera. So certainly 1/3.
And if with 1/2, different values can be set, maybe those too.

If the profile for a given iso does not exist, it will be linearly interpolated
from the nearest samples on the each side.

I'd try to search for raws used for noiseprofile generation for some other
camera and examining them. But yes, something like bright lamp
illuminating half of the shot, and total darkness on the other half,
with gradient change from one to the other one.

That is talking about the dt processing.
Unless the manufacturer is *really* *really* dumb the in-camera color space
selection only matters for the JPEG's, and the embedded thumbnails.
