16K is more likely, and it would be in slot 0.  Language cards were set up
with a cable to a RAM socket, just like the OP described.  I have a
Microsoft (!) 16K language card in my II+ that has some LEDs across the top,
and the chip count sounds right (nine of the chips are 4116 DRAMs--eight to
form a bank of memory, plus one to replace the chip pulled off the
motherboard).
