Why SO3, SO2 & O2 does not obey the Law Of Reciprocal Proportions? Are these the only which does not obey this law?

According to the law, If the two elements combine separately with a third element, the mass ratio of the first two elements combined with a fixed mass of the third element will be equal to or in simple ratio to the mass ratio of first two elements in a compound formed by their direct combination..
In other words, the mass of several elements A, B, C which combine separatley witha a fixed mass of another element D are the same as or simple multiples of the masses in which A, B, C themselves combine with one another.
 
Law of reciprocal proportions for SO3, SO2 & O2 is given by,

SO3 → 32 : 48 = 2 : 3

SO2 → 32 : 32 = 1 : 1

begin mathsize 11px style SO subscript 3 space colon space SO subscript 2 space rightwards arrow space 2 over 3 space colon space 1 over 1 space equals space 2 colon space 3 end style

O2 → 32

(O2 is not a compound.)

begin mathsize 11px style left square bracket SO subscript 3 space colon space SO subscript 2 right square bracket space colon space straight O subscript 2 space space rightwards arrow space 2 over 3 space cross times space 1 over 32 space equals space 1 over 48 end style

Thus, it does not obey the law of Reciprocal Proportions.
