I think (though again, I'm just playing with this myself) that the full version of Kontakt allows for 16 channels. In limiting it to 8 (for whatever reason), I suppose it was easier to let the player start every 16, where it usually does, and disable the top 8 rather than making it start every 8.
Also, I think that this allows some compatibility between Finale GPO and full GPO -- if a file is set up for Finale it should play in full GPO no problem. But if the player used 1-8 and then 9-16 in Finale GPO, when you tried to load full GPO you'd be asking it to put channel 9 in the second player rather than in the first where full GPO expects it.
Please note that I'm just experimenting myself. If these answers are wrong, I hope someone will correct me.
