Description
Plate 1 (just left of pump 1) is connected to gear 2. Plate 2 is connected to gear 3 and so on, wrapping around from the beginning to create a cycle--in the layout above, plate 3 is shown connected back to gear 1. Plate i in an n-step repeater is connected to gear (i mod n)+1.
This allows for a sequential repeater with any n steps, where n is an integer greater than 1.

The bottom right channel has no plate, so the left pump just passes the water. Thus, odd steps are allowed, though they add extra ticks for passing the water.
2-step Alternating Repeater
See here for this special case using a double-pump stack design.
