Exactly.  There is only ever on PTR record looked up on an SPF query.  

I'm an idiot.  There can be multiple PTR records for the IP.  Sure, they
can usually all be returned in the same packet, but an implementation
might not validate the names until they match a mechanism.  In which
case PTR should count as 1 each - just like the spec says - because each
matching PTR will cause an A record lookup to validate.  This was
all gone over with fine tooth comb - I don't know why I was second 
guessing.
