It's not a typo - it looks like they want to use plates that are 8, 18, or 24 inches long. So the height is one of those three sizes, but the width can be almost anything you want because they just use more plates.
Its goofy for Foci because our intercoolers are typically mounted "sideways". So my intercooler is 18" tall by 6.5" wide, but it's resting on its "side". It's not ideal for flow, since it doesn't have nearly as many plates as it would have if it were the other way around, but it would be a PITA on the Focus to have the flow come from the top and bottom, rather than from the sides.
The nice thing with Bell Intercoolers is it sounds like they pay attention to the IC's flow loss, so I'm sure they use low-density turbulators when the number of plates is limited by space constraints, for instance.
I've always thought the Bell Intercooler site was really cool. If I had gone custom, they'd be my first choice. As it turned out, I have one of their intercoolers anyway - hell, my whole turbo kit was fabricated by Bell Engineering.
