It is not so much how many instances of 'a, 'b and 'c are around - more that the names of each of these three words count toward the word limit. Imagine a spreadsheet where each row label is the name of a word! and each column represents a context that words can be bound to. A given word might have a few entries in different columns of the spreadsheet corresponding to different instances of it in different contexts, but the number of rows cannot grow beyond 4000 (not sure of correct number). Not entirely sure if that helps, but I think it is relevant :^) Regards, Brett.
