Rinse and repeat until you have thousands of heads, if you want.
Of course in practice you'd never do this because it's pointless overkill, fencepost security--like putting up a wall a thousand feet high and green feet long. 3000 heads is no better than 100 heads for overcoming Dispel Magic. You'd be far better off True Polymorphing into an Atropal instead and summoning 3000 Wraiths instead.
