Just take a single part of a 7 part of Stedman Triples, such as H Law 
james, and name it as a triples priciple with 720 changes per section.  
Simple.

I do agree with you Graham, and was talking to ringers about this over 
the weekend.  A mini-monster, with ideally (to my mind) 7 sections would 
be great.  Slightly less trivial to conjure up though.
