re: "depth" is not visible
I believe the "depth" is visible in the other axes. You can clearly see how much higher are the system, people and process levels for a TL4 here:
Sometimes visualizing the influence axis as another dimension helps. Following your analysis, you can think of technology system, people and process as different aspects of the "depth" dimension, while influence could be part of a different "scope" dimension. You could potentially re-draw the graph using the influence axis to create some 3D volume while leaving the other 4 axes in 2D.
re: EM5 vs EM7
As you can see in the following picture, the main difference between EM5/6 with EM7 is that the latter influences (or manages) multiple teams. The people axis is the same because all of them "manage people", but the influence level shows that the scope is larger.
In same cases, managing multiple teams means managing other managers (although not always). For that specific situation, I created a different section that dives deeper into assessing other managers: http://www.engineeringladders.com/Managing-Managers.html

Hi,
It is on purpose but, to be honest, you can make an argument either way. This is one of those areas where I always recommend adapting the ladder to your needs. What is a subsystem or a team might be different for different organizations.
Having said that, the following is the reasoning behind those levels:
As a TL4, you have a larger scope "within" your subsystem (e.g., coordinating people) but your scope at the "team" level is very limited. This is probably the first time for an individual contributor to have to balance delivering code and coordinating people. Therefore, a more focused scope (subsystem) usually helps.
Since a D3 or D4 has a narrower scope within the subsystem (they are "pure" individual contributors), they can use their technical skills to influence other subsystems too (e.g. delivering cross-cutting functionality).
According to the ladder, only a TL5 will have the experience to balance things well enough to be able to operate at a "team" level.

Thanks, that is clear.
If I'm not wrong, you are saying that this chart indicates the "scope" of the skill and there are also "depth" but that is not visible on the chart.
For another example EM5 and EM7 are both has "Manages" on "People" axis but the "depth" is likely to be different.
Is that right?

Thanks for sharing those contexts, I finally understand the concept !
