It seems to me that this mod was created to operate on stacks rather than on the number of items.
600 appears when I set all technologies to unlocked in sandbox mode. Even when I unlearned the Cargo+1 technology, 600 remains.
During normal play, this problem does not occur and the counter starts at 100 if that is the stack of items.
Another idea I have as to why you have 600 is that you placed 6 drones in the depot, and each drone adds 100 to the order list (6*100=600).
