Why not also "signed magnitude"?

You mean a third index entry?

Yes, since it appears that you are indexing the various possible representations of signed integers here. So it would be strange to index only some of them, don't you think?

Should the index entry not be "complex" then? Maybe change it to "Signed integer representation", and have sub-entries "Ones' complement", "Two's complement", and "Signed magnitude"?
Are there other places where "signed magnitude" should be indexed, or other representations that should be indexed?

I think a) yes to the first suggestion, b) consider then also adding "see also"s to the other uses if appropriate, and c) I can't think of any other place where we should index "signed magnitude", but that may just be my lack of creativity. In any case we can always add more index entries later.

Actually, I think the index entries are better placed after the paragraph:
\pnum
\indextext{...}%
