This number is added to the number coming from the autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor parameter for each table. This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line; but the setting can be overridden for individual tables by changing table storage parameters.

This number is added to the autovacuum_vacuum_threshold parameter for each table.

That looks very good IMO.
