According to the army calculator I can double up units, but can I triple a unit?
Obviously I can use house rules to do this, but I wanted to check.

No, and it also doesn't make sense for almost all units, besides it brings some balance issues.

...besides it brings some balance issues. How so? What kind of balance issues? Genuine question |

Regiments is built around 1 and 2 rows of attack power, only 2 rows can attack in melee and ranged units are almost all shrunk down to size[5] for that reason so they are also only 1 to 2 rows of attack power.
Very weak units that start at size[10] can combine to improve their staying power, but not their offensive power and at that point level it doesn't really matter if they get only more models to burn before losing effectiveness.
A proper offensive unit getting over the 2 row limit would lose out on a huge amount of attack power with a pretty high point cost attached and for those points you can get another activation for more forced morale.
Ranged units don't have a limiter on who can attack outside range, so they will get always all of the models attacking, bringing imbalance between melee and ranged units.
If you want more models on the table, tripling, quadrupling or even quintupling is not the answer.
If you want more models, you need multi basing and every base is now a single model with the appropriate amount of miniatures per base.

That was a pretty helpful answer. Thanks!
