Decoding VIN for 2002 Mini Cooper

Where do I learn how to decode my VIN (WMWR C33422TC320202) for my 2002 Mini Cooper? I want to know when my Mini was built and how early in the building series it is.

WMW = MINI
RC33 = Cooper USA
42 = ?
2 = year 2002
T = Oxford plant assembly

Here is what the BMW/MINI guy told me when he called today.(been a few days)
1st three numbers are the manufactures code = WMW MINI Division
the next five numbers are the Chassis Identification
he wasn't really sure of the 9th numbers meaning
the 10th = Model yr 200#
11th = Production Plant T = Oxford
12th is the Model number
and the last 5 are the Production series numbers

that's all I know

Thank you ramjet77 and Atomic S.

From my Production Seires Number '20202', can I determine where my Mini stands in the production line? Was it the 202nd Mini built? Was it the 20202nd Mini built? Where does it standin the production line?
