No, it's ok.

Per position of the two Kings, the index is an n-cube where 'n' is the number of
types of pieces after the King ... and where the length of each dimension can be
worked out based on the type of piece and the number of them (and the positions
of the two Kings).

You also need to know the order in which pieces are 'placed' on the board after
the Kings to make up the position you are looking at.

The formulae are in the paper - and eminently computable:  no combinatorics
required.
