And I think CAN only goes up to 60ish?

Jaguar's can network is limited to 16 nodes according to the Getting Started Guide. You could also use Y-Cables on each of the 20 total PWM ports on 2 sidecars for up to
56 (2*20+16=56) Jaguars controlled. You might be able to use multiple Y-cables on a single PWM output, I don't know the max fan-out.
Of course this exercise is done purely out of curiosity to see how many Jags you could control. The motors you could control with the Jags is limited to 13, including 4 CIMs, 4 total Banebots motors, 4 window motors (which have issues with Jags), and 1 FP motor. The extra CAN Jags could be used to read sensors, but I am not sure what you would do with the extra PWM Jags. Perhaps, you could use their 3 color LEDs to signal which tube you want next to your Feeder
