I've thought about this too, and I don't think we could actually get there in a game.
The problem is, at the point where I'd enforce an illegal substitution penalty, either I have certain knowledge of the earlier substitutions or I don't.
If I know about it, I should have disallowed the illegal substitution ("Coach, he can't re-enter in CF, he's already re-entered once.").
OTOH, if I don't know about it, then I can't enforce it as illegal substitution (not enough evidence, can't take the opponent's word for it, etc.).
