There are two things happening, firstly there is an increase in the numbers of class 390 units by four (390054-390057), of which three are already in the country. Secondly, 31 of the existing 52 Pendolinos will be extended to 11 car units with the addition of a motor and trailer coach (IIRC).
The first two new Pendolinos have temporaily been reduced to 9 car and have entered service to allow better use of the 390 and 221 fleet. Due to platform lengths they couldn't be used as the 11 car unit.
The current Pendelinos have 7 out of the 9 coaches powered and this will increase to 8 out of 11 with the new coaches (IIRC).
