Dec 6, 2010 at 17:00 comment added Jay Taylor Yes, you're right. I have made it a bit clearer now for $D_4$, especially as this is the running example in my post. Yeah, I always get a bit haphazard with this. I get so used to writing "connected reductive" or "connected semisimple" that I forget when referring to a connected simple algebraic group that this is redundant. Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, no. I'm actually interested in these classes in the half spin group $HSpin_{2n}(\mathbb{K})$.

Dec 6, 2010 at 16:13 comment added Jim Humphreys A couple of very minor edits. Before attempting to answer this, let me point out that language like "right extremal nodes" of the Dynkin diagram is a little fuzzy for type $D_4$ (but probably without affecting your question). And the initial description "simple connected semisimple" sounds awkward; but I guess you are mainly concerned just with $SO_{2n}$ throughout.
