Damn! I wish I ordered that cool looking Pomona grabber lead -- I already ordered one that has individual leads.
Anyway...
So you can power about 19-20 modules total? As long as there are:
1) no more than 11 of the 4 pin modules
AND
2) no more than 8 of the 6 pin modules
I didn't see any problems with the manual, but it was a bit difficult to follow without a 950 kit to check against it.
Note: the two sections I quote from below are close but not in complete agreement about the number of modules which can be powered. (I say split the difference and say no more than 7 of the 6 pin and no more than 11 of the four pin. Stay lucky -- 7 ∗ 11)
From the top of page 3.

The supply can power approximately 11 4-pin modules and 8 6-pin
modules. An expansion connector board, the MOTM-990, is available for attaching
additional modules.
The last paragraph of page 12.

This power supply can power BOTH 4-pin modules AND newer 500/600 Series modules
at the same time. Just remember, the MOTM-950 can ONLY power about 12 4-pin
modules maximum. It can power 6 to 8 500/600 Series 6-pin modules as well.
