Both Alice and Bob split into 2^N copies for binary results. So each of the 2^N Alice's splits into 2^N further copies, one for each copy of Bob. That seems to give (2^N)*(2^N) pairings. That is still a lot of redundant copies when only one copy of Bob meets each copy of Alice in the actual experiment.
