No, the comment in the blog post is not what I'm suggesting. All Apple needs is to do is record the timestamps that iPhones received the AirTag beacon. When an Apple ID queries for keys, if Apple finds more matching key reports received in any 15 minute period than is plausible, then either the Apple ID is associated with more than the 16 permitted AirTags, or some of them are using more than one key per 15 minutes. So Apple can definitely detect this unless you either use multiple Apple IDs, or you limit to around 16 bits per 15 minutes.
