This is excellent content
29:33 As far as I understand, the table does not match the shown configuration above? For example, in the picture slot one is occupied by partition one but not in the table where partition one occupies slot five. Is this intentional?

You are correct that the table does not represent the illustration above it, but rather another random configuration just to show a different example. I guess it's indeed debatable whether such an example is optimal from a didactic perspective.
At 48:22 how does the 3/2 * ln(.../T) transform into 3/2 * ln (T) + Const ? isn't there a minus sign missing there?

The minus sign comes from the equation at the very top of the slide: ln(Omega)=C-integral. In the equation at the bottom of the slide, we calculate the integral, so we need to take its negative to find ln(Omega). That's also why ln(N/V) becomes ln(V/N) after the arrow.
