Presumeably, you deleted the "freed up" ldevs with sysgen.

However, even if you did the right thing by deleting the unused ldevs via
sysgen, these ldev would (and should) still appear on the showdev output.
In such a case, they would simply represent "pseudo" logical devices
potentially utilized by NSVT and/or telnet.

As to the recommended number of GB per FW SCSI interface - I'm not sure
that that is as important as the number of spindles per interface. Although
the theoretical maximum is 15, I'm not sure I would want to have that many
on a single interface - although that would probably be quite
application-dependant.
