This is an interesting preprint about the saturation behavior of SiPM's:

Functions Represent SiPM Response Especially Linear Behavior After Saturation
Katsushige Kotera, Weonseok Choi, Tohru Takeshita
http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.01102

They show evidence that a pixel could fire more than once during illumination, so they could behave as if there are more than the geometric number of pixels. I don't see that it makes much difference to us, since I think we are likely to be far from saturation, but if we did have to correct for saturation we would have to think about exactly how to do it with our shaping time.
