We have 228 projects in our continuum structure - and many have multiple entries for various branches and past tags still under support. We run them all as separate projects as the SCM url is unique; that is our deciding factor on creating new job streams in continuum.
We go as far as creating separate groups for our large projects as well - they typically go from one IT group doing the development to another who handle the support/maintenance/enhancements for "production" systems - so they have separate continuum groups, and run multiple jobs for each RVL. We also have a standard for "appname r.v.l-build" to be displayed in the contentinfo section of every page so we know what's currently deployed in each environment.
