Basically, each word is counted once. If the same word/username is applicable to another user with *same* salt, it will not be hashed nor counted again. If the same word/username is applicable to another user with a *different* salt, it will be used - and counted - again in Single mode. In terms of AutoStatus this is the same situation as a dupe word in a wordlist. It will be counted again.

This is irrelevant. It is counted as above. One name can generate 15 candidates and another might generate just one. After those two, 16 guesses are counted.
