I suspect the journalist who wrote report or his sub has mangled the numbers.
An Airbus A380 of Malaysian Airlines is part of the repatriation fleet. It's mostly been used between Manchester and the Balearics. Configured for long haul it will have first, business and premium economy as well as bog standard seats. Not all will be used on this operation.
Presumably the Matterhorn operation knows how many people were booked on any given TCX flight. Instruction to passengers is to watch the caa/thomas cook website and then turn up and check in at least three hours before departure. Until passengers have checked in they won't know if there are no shows. Too late then to add another flight's load to the manifest.
If there are people from seven flights on one A380 then TCX's loads were poor and it's no wonder they failed.
