This is a very unlikely scenario.
It's not clear if you are worried about this being done by a contest club
or a general interest club.
If the former, a requirement to cease use of the first call after a second
call is used would stop abuse. I doubt that a hundred members of a contest
club would quit on Sunday afternoon to give one serious member a unique qso.
If the later, it seems to me that very few non-contesters have second calls
available. And if one hundred people who would otherwise not make any QSOs
instead make one QSO with their friend, that would not be affected by the
current rules.
On the other hand, there is a great deal to be gained by generating fresh
participants in the later hours of Sweepstakes, or any other contest longer
than a few hours.

The only downside I can see would be if a club with a hundred
not-so-serious about winning members, for example, decided they would try to
ensure
victory for one of their members who was serious about winning. If each of
them had a second call sign they could switch to on Sunday, the potential
would be created to double the impact of what could already be done now.
Imagine 200 contacts, all on Sunday afternoon, in the log of a serious
competitor with none of those call signs in the log of anyone else who has
more than a thousand contacts.
