"........, twice as many as ......" is an appositive modifier.

B and C are contender

I opt for B but not sure

almost twice as many as 1990 = 2 x 1990 ~= 3880

IMO C
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

I don't see any difference between B & C.

B uses an ellipsis and C doesn't.

(2)almost twice as many as [there were] in
(3)almost twice as many as there were in

I'll go with B for concision...
