Yes, correct. As MichaelFelt and agent.kgb already explained, there is no
legal limit on how many LPARs you create out of your licensed cores. There are some thechnical restrictions (like the 0.05 proc limit for LPARs, as Michael explained) and the resulting LPARs created with that minimum will not be exactly high-performance, but otherwise you are free to do whatever you want.
Notice, though, that this is only half of the story, and because you seem to be in the process of setting up a project i'd like to tell you the answers to a question you didn't ask:
For a p-Series system to work you may need updates to the systems
microcode (think of that as the rough equivalent of a BIOS in PCs) and you will get that only from IBM as long as your system is under a service contract. Take that into consideration when planning your costs. Btw., the same is true for the *L-systems, which are identical to the normal systems save for they are restricted to run only Linux (or, at least, not AIX) in their microcode.
I hope this helps.

virt-copy-out
virt-copy-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-copy-out(1)
NAME
virt-copy-out - Copy files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image.
SYNOPSIS
virt-copy-out -a disk.img /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir
virt-copy-out -d domain /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir
DESCRIPTION
"virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.
You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line. Directories are copied out recursively.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a virtual machine:
mkdir homes
virt-copy-out -d MyGuest /home homes
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
SEE ALSO
guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), virt-tar-out(1), http://libguestfs.org/.
