A couple of questions:
How is this value calculated? And how are different starting alignments represented (you'd expect as many bunches as there are starting structures but this doesn't seem to be the case)

I believe it calculates the RMSD (root mean square deviation) between the current structure and the initial starting model that was loaded.
So for multi-starts it would be whichever random structure you started with.
Alignments won't have any effect (on the plot) until you thread them.
If the puzzle starts with an extended chain that would be the starting dot on the map.
