I would tend to think around 10-100 times that, and yes, I've seen those
too. Really cool, but I don't think any one uses wire wrap anymore.

The old Texas Instrument 48 channel seismic recorders were all wire wrap.
Something like 250 wire wrapped plug in boards. Simulataneous sampling up to
200Hz, and stored on mag tape on a real cool reel to reel tape deck with
spinning tape heads like on a VCR.
