Is there a way to extend letter A for a longer solo?

What constitutes the repeating solo section?
A to the DS instruction (16 bars) ?

Is the 16 bar A always repeated twice = 1 solo?

Then after last solo, take the DS and coda?

Assuming the solo is just the 16 bars after A, because of the length of the chart and the DS after the solos, just before the coda, I don't think we can use the "trick" where the solo is "A" and use player repeats to adjust the number of solos. That would require copying the 24 bars of the DS and adding them again as the first part of the coda instead of using DS.

The only way I can see to adjust the number of times the A section repeats on this chart is using a text instruction.
(4x, 8x etc) placed anywhere within the repeat bracketed A section. It would usually be under the final bar, but the DS al coda is already there.
Then set the player x1.
