Hmmm...after reviewing the section on decoy missiles I can't rule out your take on it, or mine. It isn't clear. Arguably your take is better given the limitation on decoy launcher size, but that could be an oversight.
This way would make more sense to me as well. However, my observations of NPR designs is that they don't really match the decoy size to the ship size, and I assume Steve would not deliberately saddle the NPRs with an unworkable design feature.
