I am trying to find the documentation for the XRP specific classes like XRPMotor or XRPServo on WPILib Suite · GitHub. Could anyone please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

As of writing this, I have yet to find a documentation page that shows/explains the API for the XRP specific classes. However, if you know how to read Java (or C++) source code, then the WPILib GitHub repo that you linked does have the source code for all the classes in the XRP Vendordep.
@ZeeQueue is there documentation for the XRP specific classes?
There is a brief writeup of the motor and servo channels near the end of the firmware readme GitHub - wpilibsuite/xrp-wpilib-firmware
These were meant to be drop in replacements for a Spark motor controller class, and the Servo class. Unfortunately I never got around to writing the docs for the line follower and rangefinder (although these just use AnalogInput under the hood, and the appropriate channel numbers are listed in the README as well)
What do I need to change in the source code to add a 3rd and 4th servo?! We are tasked with making a submersible vehicle using the XRP board and our thruster’s ESCs use a servo style PWM. They work great off of the designated servo pins (device #4 and #5) but we need to add at least 1 more thruster (XRPservo device) to complete our project. What items in the firmware do we need to change? We are using WPI Lib VS Code in Java. We would like to use either the extra connector or the even the pins for the motor encoders. Thank you very much for your help!
Currently the WPILib does not support a servo 3 and 4. There should be a release in the next few weeks that would help with that.
