10 X means how many times the powdered sugar was sifted. It is a finer, silkier sugar. Many sugars are 6X, meaning 6 times sifted.

I'm unsure as to the answer of your question but I make & use Nick L. paste all the time. I've used 10X and 6X. I will NOT use the 6x again - it's just not as smooth.
The recipe I have uses grams so I am unfamiliar with the posted measurements. I prefer a soft paste to begin with so I add 2 gm. more egg white. If I am doing something that needs to be stiffer I add more tylose as I need it.
