That depends on how you feel about what constitutes playing a character.
In raw numbers we’ve had Combs play 7 main characters (Brunt, Tiron, Mulkahey, Penk, Krem, Shran, Agimus) that aren’t Weyouns and at least 3 of them that I recall. This discounts his appearances in video games.
Whereas though PT has been on screen a lot, maybe as many times as Combs, it’s worth remembering that stuntpersons aren’t playing the character, they are playing the actor. She was also in Jurassic Park, not as Ellie, but as “Laura Dern’s Stunt Double”.
Edit: an earlier version of this comment started “that’s not strictly true” but I’m not the person who gets to decide that. To me it doesn’t seem true, but to someone else perhaps it does. I changed it because I’m not the arbiter of such things, and to open a comment that way was frankly a bit dickish.
