This may lead to D.M.Y. but not D.M. or D/M/ unless the situation isn't
similar to German where D.M. is the correct abbreviated form.

I'd say it should be

D.M.Y;D.M;D.M.Y.;D/M/Y;D/M

or maybe

D.M.Y;D.M;D.M.Y.;D.M.;D/M/Y;D/M

The '/' patterns are only for numeric keypad input, aren't they? I doubt
anyone wants to key in an extra character if not needed..
