Bbtools/BBmaps output questions

[SDPA_Pet]

Hello, I am using "stats.sh" command in BBtools to check my assembled metagenomes. I am looking for N50 and the largest contig. In my case, there is a line shows "Main genome contig N/L50: 7688/759" and "Max contig length: 5.905 KB". I know N50 and L50? What is N/L50 here? Does this mean N50 = 7688 and L50=759? Why my max contig length is shorter than N50? Is this possbile? (details see attached files)

Does this mean N50 = 7688 and L50=759?

Yes, that is what that means.

Why my max contig length is shorter than N50? Is this possbile?

Because Brian believes (and I agree with him, not that he requires any validation from me) the proper notation should be N50=number of contigs making 50% of your assembly and L50=length lower limit of contigs making up 50% of your assembly. So what stats.sh is telling you is that the largest 7,688 contigs account for 50% of your assembly length and those contigs are all ≥ 759bp.
