If it helps, I have written a document with 197 floats on 165 pages in the
output PDF file. While working on it, I did have problems with floats. Here
is how I fixed it:
1. Put the following in the Preamble:
\usepackage{morefloats}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{.7}
\renewcommand{\textfraction}{.05}
2. Put \clearpage (in ERT) at the end of each of 12 chapters.
That's all it took. I did this over two years ago, when I was a few versions
back for LyX, and I think I was still using a fairly ancient version of TeTeX.
