Nope.  Just as a quick test on my laptop running 64bit Windows 7, using 
the default personal condor config and HTCondor v8.1.5, I placed
  num_cpus = 30
in condor_config.local (to lie about how many CPU cores I have), started 
the HTCondor service, and 30 static slots popped up just as expected.

I think Ben is onto something below.  Try again using the default 
config, and/or post the relevant parts of your condor_config file (i.e. 
the parts you modified, esp related to startd/slot config) here.

Todd
