I do think Ludwig's statement isn't that far-fetched, and I also don't understand the point with combining their abilities when he's specifying he combines all their attacks. And as I personally see it, "attacks" would connote power.

As for the ten times multiplier, my reasoning was that if he saw such a gap of like seven extra people as something barely stronger, then he's gotta be a lot stronger to see such a massive gap as something so small. Ten was an estimation.

Also, I interpret the statement as Mario talking about Ludwig's power, as he took on all of them. Here: the guide booklet seems to be talking about the individual worlds, what to do, and then acts as a narration device of some things happening in the story; this is shown in the same scan that "disproves" Ludwig's statement. "But what's this??? This letter isn't from Peach, it's from Bowser!!! The fiend has taken the Princess to his underworld domain!"

You can disagree if you'd like, but I still interpret it all the same way. I appreciate the feedback, though. :)
