Multifragment disintegrations following {sup 129}Xe+{sup 197}Au collisions at {ital E}/{ital A}=50 MeV have been studied with a multidetector system covering 88% of 4{pi} in solid angle. The average number of intermediate-mass fragments ({ital Z}=3--20) increases strongly as a function of charged-particle multiplicity and reaches values larger than six for the most violent collisions. The results are compared to calculations with both dynamical and statistical models.
