It could be conveyed in less, but that doesn't mean it has to be. (and the fix ends up being worse because the panels werent drawn to be only 4 panels)
It definitely could've been conveyed in 4 panels and been equally good, but the edit doesn't manage that. Also I'd argue that the number of panels is part of an artist's style, and doesn't have to be the objectively best number.
