The wording "residual generators/modulators" I used before is not quite 
correct. As already ponited out by Marcus, the terminal ibag tells you how 
many generators and modulators to use. Section 7.7:

"The size of the IMOD sub-chunk in bytes will be equal to ten times the 
terminal instrument’s wModNdx plus ten and the size of the IGEN sub-chunk in 
bytes will be equal to four times the terminal instrument’s wGenNdx plus four. 
If the generator or modulator indices are non-monotonic or do not match the 
size of the respective IGEN or IMOD sub-chunks, the file is structurally 
defective and should be rejected at load time. "

Which in turn means that if (hypothetically) ibag[1] were the terminal zone, 
the file would be rejected because the size of the igen subchunk wouldn't 
match that requirement (contrary to what I said before, sry).
