It is my understanding that peripheral ordinaries are treated as
secondary charges as usual.  Therefore, in this case there would be
one CD for changing a bordure <-> an annulet and a second CD for
changing the tincture of a group of secondary charges (gules <->
sable).

A clearer example would be
    Sable, a lion within a bordure argent.
versus
    Sable, a lion within an annulet argent.
I believe that they would be held to conflict: only 1 CD for change of
type.
