You are not limited by the number of DC4s and DC8s but you are limited to the number of ports that can be controlled.
The Jr is documented to control 12 timers so 1 DC4 + 1 DC8 = 12 ports if you used all outlets. If you had current issues and wanted to user 2 DC4s and 1 DC8 then you would still be limited to 12 ports, meaning that 4 plugs on the DCx(s) would not be usable.
Since the DCx devices initialize to "off", there would be no way to turn them "on" in order to just use the outlets without control (in reply to your second question).
