Eh, isn't that combination kinda pointless? AFAIK, you use either "spacing"
and POV-Ray figures the amount of photons based on distance to lightsource
or something like that, if you use "count", you're telling POV-Ray to use a
specific amount, which it will divide amongst the lightsources... Their
mutual. Though I might have the technical details wrong, that's the main
point of using spacing vs count.

Ah, just found it: "3.6.3.2.1  Photon Global Settings" in 3.6.1 Docs, read
past the blue values and you'll find: "The number of photons generated can
be set using either the spacing or count keywords: [...]"
