  There is technically no limit in the soft credit : it's only a limitation in the public form.
  
  If it's a rare case i would propose to simply add the missing soft credit using the API explorer :
  
  * go to menu Support -> Developer -> API Explorer v3 (or v4 but my screenshot is in v3)
  * choose entity `ContributionSoft`, Action `create` and set value for `Contribution`, `Soft Credit Amount` and `Contact ID`
  * Then use `Execute` button
  
  Like so :

  Otherwise, you will have to create an extension to somehow overwrite the CRM\_Contribute\_Form\_Contribution::$\_softCreditItemCount value and it should do the trick :
  
  ```
    /**
     * @var int
     *
     * Max row count for soft credits. The value here is +1 the actual number of
     * rows displayed.
     */
    public $_softCreditItemCount = 11;
  
  ```
