This is not documented well. Thanks for the reminder, will fix.

This is an attempt at presenting low-level information about each
channel in a compact way. Each state set needs to remember pending
asynchronous (callback-based) put and get operations for each PV; at
each time, for each state set and channel there can be only one get and
one put pending. The digits inside the []-brackets tell you for which
channel this state set has pending gets or puts (1=yes, 0=no). The
digits are output in the order in which the channels are declared in the
program (which is the same order in which seqChanShow shows them). The
more channels you have, the longer the array of digits gets, which is
why the length differs; for large programs with many channel variables
the array may span more than a single line.

In your example you have two channels and for none of them there is a
put or get pending  (which is the normal case).
