There's a limit on the number of OMITs as noted in the man page.

The man page says:

       The  THROUGH  keyword  lets you conveniently OMIT a range of days.  For
       example, the following sequences are equivalent:

            OMIT 3 Jan 2011
            OMIT 4 Jan 2011
            OMIT 5 Jan 2011

            and

            OMIT 3 Jan 2011 THROUGH 5 Jan 2011

In my opinion, that makes it clear that "OMIT a THROUGH b" is equivalent
to a whole bunch of individual OMITs.

If you want to see how many full OMITs are allowed (a compile-time constant)
you can run:

    echo 'OMIT DUMP' | remind -
