The correlated ion stopping within [ital N]-clusters of ion debris, resulting from a swift fragmentation of a weakly ionized cluster impacting a dense and fully ionized classical plasma, is considered in the high velocity limit. Elaborating upon dicluster polarized stopping with a Fried-Conte plasma dielectric function, [ital N]-cluster stopping is taken as a linear superposition of every available dicluster pair. The main focus is on the enhanced correlation stopping and its dependence on [ital N], [ital N]-cluster arrangement, as well as target plasma coupling. The main trends are qualitatively reminiscent of [ital N]-cluster stopping in a fully degenerate electron fluid. The basic length is the target electron screening length (Debye).
