The 4 choice example from Supp. 8--
27 ABCD
26 BCDA
25 CDAB
23 DABC
101
should make it clear that there can be clone like effects in combinations
(whether sincere or insincere).
Example-
N1 A > B > C
N2 A > X1 > B > C
N3 A > X2 > X3 > B > C
etc.
or the reverse
N101 B > A > C
N102 B > X4 > A > C
N103 B > X5 > X6 > A > C
etc.
N = a number of votes, X = intermediate choices
The AB or BA combinations may combine to compound the losses of another
choice (C) (or the wins for a choice -- if C > A B or C > B A).
The clone effects would probably be more obvious in partisan elections (such
as liberal voters ranking most liberal candidates ahead of most conservative
candidates and vice versa).
