Error message: Invalid number of channels
This is actually a (almost) very informative error message. You want pd use more channels than are physically or virtually available on your system. You should probably provide some more info about your setup: how many audio interfaces, what kind, how many I/O, do you use jack or not etc. I don't think you can tell pd to use more than one audio interface at a time. Depending on the OS/platform you are using, there may be ways to trick the OS into using 2 or more audio interfaces as one but it is not for the feint of heart and generally not very reliable and may lead to some unpredictable behaviour. What I understand is that you want to make a matrix that can route any signal input to any output. However, the fact that you want to use several audio interfaces is unclear to me, I would expect audio over some network streams in a telematic performance...
As for Pd options, the command-line options override the options saved in your .pdrc file. Usually, the settings that you specify in the GUI are persistent, those you specify on the command line are valid until you quit the instance of pd.
