A full howell has one stationary pair. All the rest are moving. For a full movement, you need #rounds = #moving pairs. So with four tables you need seven rounds. With 20 tables you would need 39 rounds. This is why howells with large # of tables is contra-indicated. There are ways around this, multiple sections for example. Personally, I wouldn't run a howell with more than about seven tables.
