I'm not digging thru a PDF to look at a some slide buried in there.  You
should be able to provide a simple diagram or clear explanation.

I don't know how all this is hooked up, but if there is a secondary per
cell, then there must be a diode in there too.  If you run the transformer
in flyback mode, then the lower voltage cells will suck up more of the
energy per pulse, but this isn't going to be a very hard limit.
