Yes, I get that part.  Perhaps, a larger example will illustrate .

Enclosed is a simple electrical panel.  Many are 40 or 60 circuits large.  Note 
that you have an assortment of cells spanning rows depending on breaker size. 
It is only by chance that in a particular case adjacent breaker might utilize 
the full slot.  Hence the [nr=2] approach.  So in the given panel, if circuits 
15 and 16 were both double-pole, it would be incorrect to label them as 15A/15B 
and 16A/16B.  Then for that particular 'row' I would need double height.
