[argyllcms] Silly questions about making a printer profile.

I have done this before, but it was a while back.  

The instructions for making a printer profile start off with two
examples using targen

targen -v  -d3 -f1053 PrinterA
targen -v  -d4 -l260 -f1053 PrinterB

Looking at what I did the last time, I did run both of them (withy
parameters I chose).

Is it correct that I only need to do one,  or are both needed for later
steps?   Looking ahead at the instructions,  I don't see anything
suggesting both are needed, but I am not sure.

Also,  I have an example of a profile provided by Epson for the printer
and paper I am going to use.  Is there some way to tell from looking at
the profile how many samples I need to ask for in targen?   Is it going
to be the same as the number of entries in a LUT in the Epson profile?
