I'm not sure how it doesn't add up?

We have a frequency in Hz (equivalent to s^-1) and a duration in s, so
the result ends up with no dimension, which is to be expected for a
number of periods?

If you're talking about the comment itself, then NTSC mandates that a
line is 63.556us long. If we're using a pixel clock at 13.5 MHz, it
means that the period (== pixel) is ~74ns, so we get 63556 / 74 = 858
pixels / line.

I guess this is where it's meaningful, we really want to hit that
target. BT601 also mandates it.
