Two things :
1.) If asking FASA for clarifications they do admit that the fiction
books don't necessarily adhere to the rules. Otherwise It's time for
shamans to have multiple spirits (1+ Initiate Grade maybe ?) since
there is a shaman in there who blatantly has multiple spirits.
Unless of course they are multiple ally spirits.

2.) As stated in that book, Ryan Mercury was trained by Dunkelzahn
himself, and has phenomenal powers to boot. If other people can
boast the same (and I can't see other dragons allowing mortals as
close to themselves as Dunk) they might be comparable.
