There are probably more than 100 :-)

One way would be to use the free-form method for shipping.asc:

usps: Mail
         criteria <<EOC
[calc]
         my $total = 0;
         [item-list]
                 $total += ([item-quantity] * 5) if q{[item-modifier size]} 
=~ /^s/i;
                 $total += ([item-quantity] * 7) if q{[item-modifier size]} 
=~ /^m/i;
         [/item-list]
         return $total;
[/calc]
EOC
         min     0
         max     999999
         cost    f @@TOTAL@@
