Hypo means reduced spotting on the body/torso. There is no set number of spots but a lot of breeders only advertise leos with 15 or fewer spots as "Hypo". Super Hypo is no spotting on the body/torso.

hypo = reduction. (opposite of hyper......)

The context that you are using it is short for hypomelanistic.
(reduced dark pigment)
