I was trying to figure out the purpose/intent of this Rule, and whether leaving the exhaust port open (or using more than one solenoid to feed the input) violates the intent of the rule?

There is no rule that says you have to to have a valve on a cylinder just a rule of what the valve size must be. Teams have been leaving them off of cylinders for years.
