10-car V to Canarsie?

An R160 layup on the center track of the Astoria line tonight had side signs showing:

V 53 St/ 6 Av LCL
V Canarsie LCL
V Canarsie

Since the layups in Astoria are the 10-car R160's, why would this be programmed into them, since 10 car trains can't go to Canarsie? And certainly they wouldn't use only one 5-car set.

I can understand programming this into the 8-car R160's, since the Chrystie cut could one day be used again, and a 6th Avenue train could go to Canarsie via Broadway-Brooklyn.

Aren't the sign programs suited for the proper car types?
