Note I used the maximum active roster size for Short-A and Rookie (30 and 35, respectively). Short-A only allows 25 players to be used in any game, and Rookie leagues allow 30.

Hmm. I thought the NWL and Pioneer leagues were allowed 30 per game, but 35 on the roster? Or is that they're allowed 30 active per day, but can only use 25 of those in a game (which is kinda silly if you think about it, though I guess it forces teams to not always de-activate starters until it's their turn again.)
I would assume the costs of any of the minor leaguers would be pro-rated by the time they spent at that level, not to mention the # of players who would go on the DL or in the lower leagues include players that would come and go as active/inactive, but still be under contract. Especially in the complex leagues, since they still need full rosters before all the new draftees sign.
A simple total/roster limits probably doesn't work, although it's a decent estimate. That said, since these are leaked documents, we'll probably not know how they really get the totals.
