Yes, I'm a bit confused...

A basic 11/24 processor uses 22-bit addressing but a Unibus uses 18-bit
addressing and therefore can address up to 256KB; the top four bits of
address are therefore dropped by the MMU in a basic 11/24. If it's
fitted with a Unibus Map (KT24, M7134, which also replaces the M9312
bootstrap card) then an 11/24 can use 22-bit addressing, on an extended
Unibus, giving it a 4MB address space. It does this by feeding the
output of the MMU through 31 mapping registers which provide
relocation, so at any given moment you can actually only address 31
pages, each of 4KW (8KB), plus the I/O page; you need to re-program the
mapping registers or the MMU to access the whole 22-bit range.
I don't know where the 1MB limit comes from, that would be a 20-bit
address range.

Yes, that should work.
