Ed, Based on my experience, it will purge old builds (by date or quantity) only when a new build of that type completes. In your case, once you run one, it'll should automatically delete the 91 "extra" builds which are no longer within the retention policies for that build type. Note that it will keep the last successful build, no matter how many failures you have, so it should always keep the most recent successful build, no matter how old.
Note that this might not occur properly with multiconfiguration builds, as I've seen them not clean up properly, but don't know if that's fixed recently or not.
