(Jonathan Frink voice intensifies) For a single assigning of range, you have a start point and end point which allows for 784 * 783 / 2 combinations which is ~300,000 but since some people might opt for multiple ranges (ie: S02E07 - S09E17 & S21E13 - S31E11), that expands the result space. At it's limit, people could simply list their qualifying and non-qualifying episodes in a binary fashion which results in 2^784 combinations which is approximately 10^(784/10*3) (because 2^10~10^3) or 10^235. This is far more than the global population so pigeonhole principle wouldn't apply.
