Exactly.  There is one completely implemented parallel port, and another
header on the card.  To use the second port, you would need to purchase
the cable and plane assembly yourself.

The ariadne software came with a program called UseAriadnePar that
essentially redirects put to PAR: to the Ariadne card.

Yes.
