David, An Artillery could have been issued with 5 or more magazines. All numbered to the weapon. One for the pistol and 2 double mag pouches or one 4 mag pouch. Almost anything was possible.

But yeah..only ONE + on each extra. If you kept adding +'s on each extra you would have a bunch on the 4th mag! I suspect that if an extra was acting up badly enough the Soldat would take it out and lose it in the mud. But I don't know if the Germans repaired mags or what? I think they were considered fairly expendable.
