What is probably happening is best illustrated by a simple example. Assume you have two small GEDCOMs with 4 generations with 2 kids per generation. Assume, also that legacy can only recognise one possible pair of people to offer as a potential merge. You have 1 of 1 with none to go.
You now tell Legacy that these two really are the same person. Legacy merges them. Now it considers their spouses and parents and kids as possible merges, lets say there are 6 new possible merges. Legacy now picks one to offer you and says 2 of 7, 5 to go. If you merge these two people, their family members enter the fun and the numbers will increase again. Eventually, once you have merged enough, the numbers will start to come down.
