I believe this is correct. I haven't read anything so far that
indicates you *must* have powers of two. For instance, you can quite
readily connect two modules within a rack that don't have powers of
two CPUs (i.e. 3 node boards in one module, 1-4 node boards in another
module, for 6+(2/4/6/8) CPUs total.
