No, only once.
The problem is, that cf files are parsed in lexical order per directory.
That means that 10_default comes before 72_active. However, have a look
at your updates conf dir (see 'man spamassassin' or 'man sa-update').
There's one directory per channel. And one identically named cf file per
channel. The dirs are not parsed recursively (and it wouldn't matter),
but the cf files are. THEIR order matters. Alphabetically.
Now since "s" is before "u" in any alphabet I've ever used, the sought
channel's cf file is parsed before the stock updates cf file. Both
consist of a bunch of include directives, actually loading the rules' cf
files.
To ensure some channel to be parsed after the general updates channel,
because the channel's content is supposed to overwrite stock, it must
begin with a char that is after "u".
Thus, a single symlink should do. Once. Also see the output of
spamassassin -D config --lint 2>&1 | less

main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1:
(c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
