This is explained in the paper by Briegleb, JGR (1992):
The seven near infrared intervals which appear to be confusing you are
actually not bands in wavelength space. They are contiguous intervals
k-space (absorption space) for the water vapor bands. The quadrature
weights "p-weights" for these intervals determine their relative
contributions. Thus, the solution method switches from monochromatic
in the visible to k-distribution in the near infrared.
