No, it's the other way around. num_entry_point_offsets field has same meaning as 
in syntax. It's per slice property. I said that if there is control with all 
entry point offsets, it has to have number of elements, which is sum of all 
num_entry_point_offsets fields in slice array.

Example (totaly made up):

Frame has 4 slices, each with 16 entry points.
App sends only 2 slices per job. Both num_entry_point_offsets fields in slice 
control will have value 16, but entry point offsets array control will have 32 
elements (16 entry points offsets from first and 16 entry point offsets from 
second slice).

Best regards,
Jernej
