According to what I read over on Sirian's site (which seems to be down, else I'd just link the proper page), FO's damage is per bolt, and the orb itself does the same amount of damage as each bolt, except that it goes through monsters instead of hitting them. Any number of bolts can hit the enemy, but while the orb is inside an enemy, more bolts will not shoot out. So, the best thing to do is to shoot the orb just off of the target's left shoulder to make for the most hits. Also that the range it goes before bursting is pre-set and can't be controlled by the player.
Of course, that information if from 1.06, and it may well have changed since then.
