The documentation is not incorrect. "50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300-mers" is referring to read length. For a single kraken database, there is only one k-mer length (35 for kraken2 databases by default), but the 50mers, etc, is referring to the read length, mers. not kmers.
We include all of those files because depending on the user's sample read length, they should use a different bracken file.
When updating the wrapper for the bracken data manager on galaxy, we found that in the docs of https://benlangmead.github.io/aws-indexes/k2 the bracken DBs are referred to as
All packages contain a Kraken 2 database along with Bracken databases built for 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300-mers.
; But in the readme you can find that:bracken -d ${KRAKEN_DB} -i ${SAMPLE}.kreport -o ${SAMPLE}.bracken -r ${READ_LEN} -l ${LEVEL} -t ${THRESHOLD}
