Shedding with extra legs?

I was wondering, spiders can regenerate their legs over a number of sheds (even if they aren't usable).. So if a T has an extra leg, will it drop off?

Why would it have an extra leg? I'm a little confused.

It will only regrow the leg or legs that it has lost and they are usable.
