I've got one such character that has about 25 accounts with the same registration IP.
Edit: I should have specified it is users registering to submit PAD files.

Ok, here another quick modification.

Open /modules/users/userdoregistration.php and find:
    $insert[ 'page_keywords' ] = $preferences[ 'website_keywords' ];
    $ipaddr = $system -> getip();
    $error_message = "";


Then add:
    $query = $database -> dbquery( "SELECT user_id FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "esselbach_ct_users WHERE user_regip = '" . $ipaddr . "' ORDER BY user_id DESC LIMIT 100" );
    if( $database -> dbrows( $query ))
    {
        $error_message = "<h1>Error</h1><div class=\"content\">A user with this IP address has been already registered recently.</div><br />";
    }


This will check the last 100 registered users for the same IP address
