If it's going to be that easy, why not just implement it in a less messy way? I would probably just have further claims priced as though they were adding their volume to the original claim

+1, if you can just do it with a alt there's no point in not letting you.

yeah i already can hear the whining:
"XY claimed all the land all around my claim. and the water source. and the soil spot. and my hunting place. and..... whine whine"
of course you COULD do that already with several alts. but i think its much harder as with your main alone (that creates 50k lp in an hour or less)

Ideally that sort of thing would be prevented by causing the lp cost to rise exponentially with the number of claims. Though obviously yeomanry alts would still be an 'exploit' of this, so there would have to be a solution for that as well. I guess make the accumulated claim cost apply to the entire account? That might be taking it too far, and it still wouldn't stop players from just making a new account for free, for the same purposes.

Seems like a prickly problem because I can't think of a way to make it easier for a player to have multiple claims without simultaneously making it easier for a player to use that same mechanic for grief.
