I got a diagram with just 8 files (still 10 ranks), with some pieces for both armies missing.
Well, I can copy paste that text directly from my Comment into the Applet, and I get 10 files. The only explanation I can think of is that you did not select the full first line ('files=10'), in which case the Applet would not understand the line, and the width would revert to the default of 8 files.
