Checked the authors' paper on page 8 it explains how the \lambda sequence
is chosen. I guess this is what you were looking for.

Subject: [R] Glmnet lambda value choice
Hi,
When using the glmnet() function of the package glmnet, A series of coefficients
is returned for a list of descending lambda values.
I am unable to locate anything in the documentation that explains HOW this
choice of lambda series is made. (There is documentation about how to choose my
own, but I want to understand how the authors are doing it)
Any ideas?
