I believe it is because VS24 was originally scheduled to fly another payload, which got bumped when Falcon Eye 2 moved from Vega to Soyuz.

If you want to look for hidden clues, they have written "... separation of the satellites"

Typo or more secret satellites?

I think it's just a mistake, on the french press kit there's:

« La durée nominale de la mission (du décollage à la séparation du satellite) est de : »
→ "The nominal duration of the mission (from liftoff to the satellite separation) is :"

There's only one sat on-board
