First, the Subject API javadoc is incorporated into the Grouper API 
javadoc linked on the wiki:
<http://middleware.internet2.edu/dir/groups/grouper/grouper/1.4.1/doc/api/index.html>

Wiki doc on the Subject API implementation, only slightly outdated, is at
<https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/i2miCommon/Subject+API>

The subject-0.3.1 doc there might illuminate what you're after.
