Repetition can be heard with 2, 3, or 20 "wheels" (tapped combs) as well. For time-invariant reverbs, the best you can do is to have a repetition rate that is the sum of all of the delay lengths. 16 parallel combs with a total delay of 500 msec and a single delay line with lots of taps and embedded allpasses with a total length of 500 msec will both have a repetition artifact of 500 msec.
