​In short, no. The determination of values for these settings is based
upon other aspects of the overall multi-server system.​

Physical replication is cluster-based, not table based. The slots/senders
are roughly the number of servers involved in the setup.

Logical replication is publication based.

"A publication is a set of changes generated from a table or a group of
tables, and might also be described as a change set or replication set.
Each publication exists in only one database."

The slots/senders are consumed as servers subscribe to publications.
