Generally, yes, having more than 2-3 recs is overkill. From my POV, it is rare that if you have more than 2 recs the chapter will be able to discern any different information from the others that is not provided in the 2.
Here's the exception:
We had a girl go through one year who had something like 7 family members in DG. She also had a couple of friends in DG on another campus. We received 9 or 10 recs for her, as I recall. You can't really blame the overkill on the PNM when this is a family member or lifelong friend who is writing the rec. It might have hurt some feelings if she told them "I'm sorry, but I can only have 2-3 recs, so I have to pick 2-3 of you and the rest will not be allowed to sponsor me." She did the right thing by letting them all sponsor her, PLUS because she had different relationships with each rec writer, each rec was able to tell us about a different aspect of her that we couldn't see in the other recs.
