Now with this episode we ca say for sure that there is only 18 successors active right now, and there is only 3 kenkyusei generations still with members to a total of 16 girls (two 75, seven 76, and seven 77).

Of the original members, less than half currently have successors, but the group hopes for a full revival in which the names of all the original members will be succeeded.

Means there is at least 37 names available in 00 universe. My bet still goes for 48. XD
