Indeed, it wouldn't make any sense. Fortunately, that's not what it means. What it means is that if you want to run N jobs in parallel, you need every involved resource (Director, Client, and Storage) to have Maximum Concurrent Jobs set to at least N. Preferably at least N+1, to allow console sessions to communicate with the daemons while the jobs are running. I believe you are mis-parsing the sentence.
