SWM LNB can accomodate 8 tuners.
That could be 8 single tuner boxes, 4 dual tuner boxes, 4 single tuner 2 dual tuner boxes, etc...
The number of splitters and/or ports on the splitters doesn't really matter, beyond the fact you have to watch your losses. Meaning: If you had an 8way splitter, with a port feeding another 8way splitter, with a port feeding another 8way splitter - a receiver on that last splitter probably isn't going to work (or at least give you errors) due to signal loss.

To have more than 8 tuners, you have to swap the LNB to a conventional LNB, run 4 coax to a SWM multiswitch. A SWM16 has 2 outputs, each can do 8 tuners. A SWM32 has 4 outputs, each doing 8 tuners. Etc...
