The operation will be repeated until the number of clones +1 reaches the specified number of steps for one direction. Afterwards the entire result is used as selected object for the other direction.
Not "+1", as one clone will be placed right on top of the prototype, so rows * columns is the number of clones, without subtracting 1.
It's easy to overlook this, as without transparency, the prototype below the first clone will be invisible (ignoring that it sometimes shows on the edges, if you look very closely). Is this really the right thing to do? If I as user want a 3 x 3 tiling, I want 9 tiles, not 10. Why make me deal with one extra?
Note that there is the insecurity of not knowing what happens if you delete the original. Other applications take the approach of not differentiating between original and clones.
