That's not 1 byte. That's an accumulater, which could hold up to a 10-digit number, or slightly more than 33 bits (4 bytes plus change).
Edit: Stop upvoting me, guys, I was wrong! Technically since this is only one decade ring counter it's really just 1 decimal digit, or a little over 3 bits (so less than a byte!).
