Matt, I believe that stating 'placed everywhere they can' translates to 'their' capabilities, not physical locations available. It can, and probably does also mean we have not discovered all of the IED placements (some of our common fallacies were our daily routines. Changing those also reduced IED discoveries/incidences that can not be easily recorded as the IEDs could very well still be out there). 'Where they can' also translates to not being observed during placements. Far too many variables.
If we look at most of the recorded criminal-related IED incidences around the world, more often than not, there are at least two IEDs; a guaranteed or clear escape route if you will. Second or consecutive IEDs are indeed 'more bang for your buck', and could be specifically intended for EOD personnel (after all, we are decreasing IED effectiveness.).
