Good catch. That's rather sloppy writing. Sorry.
I revised the language on the web site a few minutes ago.

You mean intensive, or dependent?

I mean the entropy of the deal is extensive insofar as it is
proportional to N. At constant N, it is independent of temperature,
pressure, and volume.

In any case, the equation is clear and easy to interpret:
