6-2-2 Exception: list the reasons an umpire may permitt additional warm up pitches: Injury, ejection or weather.
3-1-2: or If his replacement requires more throws than permitted in 6-2-2 exception, he cannot return to pitch.
So if you grant more than 8 pitches to the substitute pitcher for whatever reason, then the replaced pitcher is done on the mound.
Seems a bit harsh, but that is the rule.
