Agreed. The example found at Thebes seems to be made from 10-15 layers but there has been no mention of how coarse each layer was. Around a dozen coarse layers with a fine layer on the inside and outside sounds good to me. Another thing I would do is rotate each layer by 45 degrees so that the weft and warp do not run in the same direction in each layer.
