So the first tar file in the table above ( "lfpw_System6-v20170501_hindcast_S19931001_atmos_6hr_surface_tas_n1-n25.tar" ) would contain all 25 ensemble members for the tas variable for the start date S19931001. Similar tar files would be created for tasmax, tasmin etc.

...

Note a total of 51 ensemble members; for pressure level variables where the volume of all the members would be greater than 32GB, 2 tar files should be created for each variable (see yellow boxes below)

So the forecast pressure level data for va would be sent in 2 tar files, one containing 25 members, and the other containing 26 members (lfpw_System6-v20170501_forecast_S1993100100_atmos_12hr_pressure_va_n1-n25.tar and lfpw_System6-v20170501_forecast_S1993100100_atmos_12hr_pressure_va_n26-n51.tar ).
