The barrels on her thigh aren't to make it 8 guns, they're spares to symbolize the fact that the barrels on the 10cm Type 98s wore out twice as fast as the 12.7cm 3rd Year Types and four times as fast as the 12.7cm Type 88s and 89s. The 5"/38s the USN had during the war (and that the JMSDF had post-war) lasted twelve times as long.
