Consider the following sentence I got from github tutorial.
If you’ve made a change that you feel would benefit the community as a whole, you should definitely consider contributing back.
The part that I cannot classify their grammatical position:
you’ve made a change that you feel would benefit the community
My atttempt
- you have made a change
- the change that I feel
- the change that would benefit the community
It looks like there are two subordinate clauses here. It is grammatical?
Edit
I don't 100% understand the available answer actually.
I am trying to create another sentence with the same pattern as follows.
- He discovered a small island.
- The island that we live.
- The island that is located in South-East Asia.
So combining all of them becomes
He discovered a small island that we live (is) located in South-East Asia.
Is (is) probably optional?

If you’ve [made a change [that you feel [would [benefit the community
…]]]]
I’ve bracketed the subordinate clauses. There are four in all.
The understood subject of "made" is "you", and of "would" and "benefit" is "a change".
