The only other explanation I can think of is that the each slot is made with two cuts, each one starting at the crack and moving outward from it. So then the three slots in the wheel path takes six cuts to make (two cuts per slot, outward from the crack). (Or perhaps the opposite; maybe the cuts start away from the crack, and stop at the crack.)

But yeah, also perfectly possible it's just an error in the article :)

Each slot takes two cuts indeed, but the cuts are parallel, one on each “side” of the slot.

Source: have cut concrete it sucks.
