What would one do to change the order of the roll-off slope, add additional matched, other value caps? Say to reach -12dB passively?

Edit: Ethan's page suggests that higher order roll-offs leads to additional circuitry, and possibly more signal attenuation. Would the overall attenuation be so severe so as to negate the simplicity of passive design?
