Well, lives were much shorter then so 3+ lives could of been had in the duration of one current life. And given the high infant mortality rate, lots of souls kept "churning" repeatedly being born, only to die within hours, days or weeks of birth. But that doesn't solve the math problem, just lessens it some. :) And maybe there were a lot more multiple personalities -- one for each soul. :) The amazing thing I see in estimates such as this (and linked page in your linked page) is that in the Indus Valley civilization 3000 bce or so, "Krishna Incarnation" 2500 BCE ?, and scholarly defined start of Vedic period 1500 BCE or so, the populations of india would be around 4 million, 5 million and 9 million respectively -- give or take a million or two. (Assuming Asia was 2/3 of world population and India was 40% or so of Asian population).The whole of India with 4-9 million peolpe! No wonder vedic india is described as a golden age.
