I just thought it gave the impression that this was the composer's one and only work for this genre.

The overall programme heading supports that impression - I think the work-experience student who compiles the website indeed thought that there's only one Dvorak String Quartet (in the same way as there's only one Scriabin Piano Concerto, in which as luck would have it, he or she was correct!)
