How many individual back variations have an example of every card, and how lenient do you have to be of series and factory numbers to make it work?

Ted Z would know about this, since I believe he has an all-Piedmont set. To answer your specific question, there are only 156 different fronts with Piedmont 150 Factory 25 backs:

Hi Scott
Yes, your question has been addressed many years ago.
Having completed (minus Doyle, Plank and Wagner) an all-PIEDMONT (Factory #25) brand set of T206's confirms all 522 subjects in the set are included with the PIEDMONT back.
Note....the Demmitt & O'Hara (St Louis) variations were printed only with POLAR BEAR backs.
Any other T206 tobacco back (SWEET CAPORAL, SOVEREIGN, etc.) set falls short of this number.
For example, my completed (minus Wagner) all-SWEET CAPORAL (Factory #30) set comprises of 468 cards.
And, my completed all-SOVEREIGN set comprises of 402 cards.
