Ha ha... I'm getting somewhere!
There are no controls for this mod in the adminCP - you modify the seetings in the XML file - simply make your edits then upload your XML file. Look for this bit of code in the file:

$getthreads = $db->query_read("
	## GET LATEST THREADS ##
	SELECT thread.*,thread.iconid AS threadiconid $previewfield
	FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread AS thread
	LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')
	$previewjoin
	WHERE open <> 10
	AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids)
	AND thread.visible = '1'
	AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
	ORDER BY lastpost
	DESC LIMIT 5");

Change the 5 in 'DESC LIMIT 5' to however many threads you want to show.

Now all I need to figure out is how to cut out the graphic icons, make the thread title longer and do away with the superfulous 'Last Post: x by y ? Replies: a Views: b' text.
