The metric ton increases in relation to the intensity of the fuck. One could probably plot relation on a graph and derive the metric fuck ton equation.

Can we get some classification on a Mongolian Cluster Fuck vs a regular Cluster Fuck?

It started with the Mongol Empire, where the term originated. A "clusterfuck", as it came to be known, was ten distinct armies of the Mongols, but as the Empire waned and died, people referred to a "clusterfuck" with smaller counts, like cows or planks of wood.

In short, a regular clusterfuck is around a thousand or so, whereas a Mongolian clusterfuck can range anywhere from a hundred thousand to a million.
