The power of an Edo is proportional to the power of the caster, yet never the full original power. Since an Edo Tensei is thus weaker, their Edo Tensei would be weaker as well. By the third layer of ET, you'd have significantly reduced total power.

When he absorbed Anko's chakra he had enough strength to control them all at nearly-full potential. But if he has to puppet Edo Tensei puppeting Edo Tensei, i don't see why his grip would undergo the same degradation as the power of edo tensei.
