Respiratory distress severity score RDSS

Unless I missed something, the maximum attainable score on this matrix should be 8. Four dimensions, score on each is zero to two. So the score ranges from zero to eight, yet the score for "severe" respiratory distress is given as ">8".
Clearly I did miss something.
