26 is after unlocking all the classes, but not any of the jobs. (That's the number I'm at now as I haven't gotten to jobs yet.) That would make the final total 35 if you unlock all the jobs.

If you're really going to use all the classes you unlock, then the extra gear sets you get are just keeping pace with the additional ones you'll need to use. You're generally going to need a set for each class you want to switch between, so you keep the same number of extra gear sets for other purposes (whether that's cosmetic sets or gear with different stat bonuses for different roles).
