I haven't built a 16 step Seq Switch, however it's farily easy link
up two eight steppers for 16 steps. You just need a few helper modules.
I run the ouptut of the first into the mix input of the second, and
use a third 2-step sequencer (running at /8) and inverter to turn
each switch on and off every eight steps. The inhibit inputs make all
outputs go low on a Seq Switch, so the gate outputs work correctly as
well.
A helper module that consisted of a resettable /8 flip flop and
inverter would make it even easier to link two of them.
