Exactly,
The battery pack has 17 pairs of wires going to board.
13 of them to monitor the cells voltages and 4 for the temperature.
I cannot be sure but I assume if the voltage of one of the 13 cells is below a set point value the electronics will disable the charge.
if even one of the cells is...
Tom,
So each block of 8 cells is 2s4p which doubles the voltage and quadruples the mAh rating, correct?
YES
The 4 cell block is 2s2p which doubles the voltage/mAh. Is that right?
NO, the 4 cell block is just 1P, one parallel of 4 cells.

goodgnus
there are 13 series of parallels of 4 cells.
the 8 cells you see are 2 series of 4 parallels.
If you pay close attention to the picture you'll see that 4 of them have the + in common and the other 4 have the - in common, in other words, they are in series.
