  | +In multi-column output
  | +.Pq Fl C No or Fl x ,
  | +a total sum for all the file sizes is output on a line before the listing.

should probably say (the first two lines there, and then):

   a total sum of all file sizes in each directory listed is output...

That is

        ls -s file1 file2

prints no total line (that's also the case where ls -l
doesn't print a total line).

and certainly never should for just

        ls -s file              (or -l)

But
        ls -s dir1 dir2

prints two total lines, one for each of dir1 and dir2
