Does that mean 9 Nationals go to the HoR crossbench?

Technically, yes.

I don’t know what this means as far as pragmatic effects like voting on legislation

I expect the vast majority of the time, the Liberals and Nationals will vote together. But this opens up the possibility that on a few bills, they might split.
