Meso Explosion enhance?

According to the description of the hyper skill, it increases the number of attacks per meso, but it also says it doesn't increase the max number of attacls. Does that mean?
A: total of 5 mesos exploded on normal monsters and 7 exploded for bosses (for a total of -1 att)
or
B: same number of max explosions for each monster with DOUBLE the total attacks.

If it is B. then why is explosion enhance considered a waste?
I'm considering the following hyper sill build currently.
Explosion Enhance/Assassinate Reinforce
Bstep Reinforce/Spread
Bstep Extra Strike
Assassinate Extra Strike
Assassinate Limit Break

K, I decided to be "bold" and test out enhance for myself.
As it is already known, it increases pickpocket's meso drop rate to 100%.
Description B appears to be the correct one. Each meso detonated DOES hit twice with the enhancement. However, it does not increase the max number of attacks on bosses, but it DOES increase the number of attacks on all non-boss monsters up to 15. As a result of the double attack, it only requires 8 mesos detonated near any monster to get the max number of attacks on it. Combined with Bstep Spread and extra hit, that is not much of a problem when using meso explosion for it's best purpose.
Even an interrupted assassinate can put out enough mesos for a full attack detonation. (Just saying)

It's confusing to me as well.
I'm guessing it means it adds an attack as if you had another coin. So if you have 6 explosions, it'll add 1 more to make 7.
Because it explicitly states max attack coint isn't raised, it leads me to believe that this only works if you have 14 or less coins and is useless if you have large stacks that would explode 15 hits without it, making its use much more limited.
