Are my wheels improperly balanced?

So I just bought a used set of wheels from a member on this forum and when I opened the package and inspected the wheel, lo' and behold one of the wheel's had 35 + wheel weights on them.

Now i'm no expert on this subject but this seems a bit excessive. Not only is there a lot but the locations they are put on leaves me scratching my head. For example, in the picture you can see that the wheel weights are PARALLEL to each other instead of being clumped up on one side. Wouldn't putting wheel weights on parallel side defeat the purpose of BALANCING the wheels?

I also found a patch where the wheel weight's are stacked on top of each other - not sure if this is normal or not. All in all am I being paranoid or should I go get them re-balanced properly?
