There's an image there that appears to have the units mounted sideways for perhaps 6 minis in 2 RU?

At Amazon scale, I imagine they strip the original chassis and use only the motherboard with custom power and cooling for some insane density. As visible here https://youtu.be/R4ArjHz4gd4?t=192 you could save some significant space doing so.

Seems like it would have to be 5U if sideways...the M1 minis are 7.7 inches / 19.7cm tall.
