I can't quite figure out the above sentence.

What I wrote is correct. However, if the spool file fills all the jobs
spooling will stop and one will begin despooling (assuming that one is not
already despooling). Once the despooling of the first job is done, it will
begin spooling again, I'm not sure what happens to the other jobs. I suspect
that each of the jobs that got caught with a full spool file will despool one
by one, because once they decide to despool they never recheck the spool
space, but you would have to look at the code to be sure.
