It's all nonsensical, so try not to stress yourself too hard trying to make sense of it. This is much like prosecutors filing 68 charges against someone that committed a single crime. They pick the number from the most absurd form of math, which sets the bar high. If they had asked for $15m, the might have gotten only 6% of that, so they start as high as they can, assuming a reduced valuation, because they know the patent is flimsy at best. The problem is that they got anything at all, which lends validity to absurdly obvious patents with decades of prior art.
