The Oak Leaf Device was a small leaf that was attached to the ribbon of a medal to denote the 2nd issue of that medal. So if a soldier had a Campaign Medal with 2 Oak Leaves meant that the soldier had been awarded the medal three times.
When the soldier earned his 5th PHM, he would use the Bronze Star Device in place of the multiple Oak Leaves. (I believe that is the correct number)

How many medals did Gregory boyington get?
Assuming that the Department of the Navy gave him everything he earned, I believe he earned: Medal of Honor; Navy Cross; Purple Heart; Presidential Unit Citation; American Defense Service Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (I would guess three or four battle stars); American Campaign Medal; WWII Victory Medal. After the fact the services created a POW Medal which could be awarded retroactively, so he would have earned that, too.
