No dispellable spell has more than 8 counters. A cancel magic(9) remove up to 9 counters per spell. And will always take out top dispellable.

this line is a bit confusing me for some reason

you stated that cancel magic will only remove 1 counter per pass, so unsure what this bit is about...unless you are referring to high lvl versions of cancel magic that can remove 9 counters and thus remove any buff that is dispellable

The cancel magic spell, has a spell effect in places like lucy that say:
Cancel Magic(1)
This will do one pass thru buffs, removing up to one counter until it actually clears a buff or goes thru them all.

The lucy spell description could be.

Cancel Magic(4)
Cancel Magic(4)

This would do two passes, removing up to 4 counters per buff each pass. But since most buffs are less than 4 counters, unless you hit the random more than 4, this will usually take out top two slots.

Clear as mud?

yes this cleared it up

basically with new cancel magic, trying to remove Talendor/Queens Dot or Gore's slow with cancel magic will most likely simply only remove your buff in slot 2 unless the DOTs from those raid mobs has a 'Buff Counter' of 1.

It will now take multiple 'pass trus' of cancel magic to remove high end raid mob detrimental effects most likely
