Possible answers

The number remains workable. You will not lose the benefit of running fewer subjects in a repeated measures design. An independent variable with \(n\) levels will just have \(2 * n\) order conditions.

The number becomes really large. An independent variable with \(n\) levels will have \(n * n\) order conditions.

The number becomes really large. An independent variable with \(n\) levels will have \(n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ...\) order conditions.
