I think Paolo is right: for every element, in the corresponding PP there is one projector per angular momentum l, for l=0,1,2,3, and they should be stored in that ordered.

To check that everything is OK, one could first convert from FHI to UPF (as you already did), then extract the wavefunctions using read_upf_to file.x .
The wavefunctions on output can be compared to those obtained from an all-electron calculation for the same element, to see if they match for r > r_core.
