314.16(C)(2) With Splices, Taps, or Devices. Only those conduit
bodies that are durably and legibly marked by the manufacturer
with their volume shall be permitted to contain
splices, taps, or devices. The maximum number of conductors
shall be calculated in accordance with 314.16(B). Conduit
bodies shall be supported in a rigid and secure manner
First the general part in (1) of that section says the rule applies to conductors #6 and smaller and second there is no way to apply the rule (2) as the reference table does not have a volume for conductors larger than #4.
