Rather than looking for the shape to the .xsf output files, is there a “way” to understand the sequence that it will generate? How is correlated with the number of Wannier function set in .win file?

see page 42 of the user guide (which I quote below). I think this is pretty clear. Note that the number of projections will be the same as the number of requested wannier functions.  
The block you quote above is not correct - so I can’t tell you what it means (and if the code allows it to run, please report it as a bug)

3.3.1 Random projections
It is possible to specify the projections, for example, as follows:

Begin Projections
random
C:sp3
End Projections

in which case wannier90 uses four sp3orbitals centred on each C atom and then chooses the appropriatenumber of randomly-centred s-type Gaussian functions for the remaining projection functions. If the block only consists of the string random and no specific projection centres are given, then all of the projection centres are chosen randomly
