A Large Portion, Yes
Some years back I wrote about how a couple of years ago I ... anyway here's the "ladder" based on a formula I use (formula open to challenge):
17 - Ouyen-Walpeup-Underbool (Sunraysia FL, Vic) [more info]
17 - Brinkworth-Spalding-Redhill (North-Eastern FL, SA) [more info]
16 - Glen Eira Saints (VAFA, Vic) [more info]
15 - Murrayville (Mallee FL, SA)
13 - Southern Flinders (Northern Areas FA, SA) [more info]
12 - Karoonda Districts (Mallee FL, SA) (potentially larger now as another merger is intended with Peak & Dist [more info])
12 - Central Eyre United (MWFL, SA) [more info]
10 - Harrow-Balmoral (Horsham DFL, Vic)
10 - Otway District (Colac & DFL, Vic)
10 - Tooleybuc-Manangatang (Central Murray FL, Vic/NSW) [more info]
10 - Ashburton-Caulfield (Vic) [more info]
9 - Fitzroy (SAAFL, SA) [more info]
8 - Sea Lake-Nandaly Tigers (North-Central FL, Vic)
8 - DWWW (South Gippsland FL, Vic)
Formula = min + max + sources, where
min = minimum representations of any club from it's initial incarnation to latest representation
max = maximum representations of any club from it's initial incarnation to latest representation
sources = total of number of initial incarnations (eg stand-alone clubs) involved

A couple of years ago I put a post on here about mergers of clubs that then remerged and merged again. I had a sort of qualification process, a "min + max + num" which meant : min - minimum number of stages any club had been through. max - maximum number of stages any club had been through. num - number of (original stand-alone) clubs involved. This was my idea of finding the most merged club.
I had found that Ouyen United was amongst the most merged : Tempy, Goyura and Patchewollock merged to form TGP Kiamal and Tiega merged to form Ouyen Rovers. TGP and Ouyen Rovers merged to form Ouyen United.
Min - 3 (all original clubs (1) merged (2) then merged again (3) ) Max - 3 (all original clubs (1) merged (2) then merged again (3) ) Clubs - 5 (original stand-alone clubs only) Total = 11.
Another example : Douglas merged with Miga Lake Douglas-Miga Lake merged with Harrow DHML merged with Balmoral to form Harrow-Balmoral.
Min - 2 (Balmoral to Harrow-Balmoral) Max - 4 - (Douglas or Migal Lake (1) to DML (2) to DHML (3) to HB (4) ) Clubs - 4 Total = 10
Well, back to Ouyen United! Found out went much further! Goyura wasn't related, it was actually Gorya, a different place! Speed and Turriff merged to form Gorya FC. Gorya and Tempy merged to form Tempy-Gorya FC. Tempy-Gorya merged with Patchewollock to form TGP. Kiamal and Tiega merged to form Ouyen Rovers. Ouyen Rovers and TGP merged to form Ouyen United.
Min - 3 (Kiamal or Tiega (1), Ouyen Rovers (2), Ouyen United (3) ) Max - 5 (Turriff or Speed (1), Gorya (2), Tempy-Gorya (3), TGP (4), Ouyen United (5) ) Clubs - 6 (Speed, Turriff, Tempy, Patchewollock, Kiamal, Tiega) Total = 14
That's currently my record. Anyone want to challenge it?
