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).
