Emacs doesn't number the undos. It keeps up to a certain amount of bytes in
a buffer, regardless of the number of undos. In other words it keeps, say,
30,000 bytes, whether that's one undo or 2,000.
There is an undo group in your Options > Customize Emacs menu. It gives you
two limits. Just put in larger numbers. I put extra in mine because I have
lots of RAM. You might have to experiment a bit to get a good number for
the way you work.
