I might do a little detective work to see why there's so much. Why was he recently in the NH? Stroke? Does he seem to be forgetting that he might have already done something?

I might chat more with the person that he is staying with and just see if they comment on him changing his clothes a lot. I wonder if he may have trouble hanging things up or folding and even if something isn't dirty, he just tosses it in the dirty bin, since that's easier than hanging it back up or folding.

Does he have enough, easy to use storage for his clean clothes at the relative's house? My guess would be that he's getting muddled about where things go, and everything's just getting lumped together. The list didn't seem that extreme to me at first, but I was allowing for 'accidents' - if most of these items are basically clean, then if you politely can I should check out how his things are being organised.

Oh goodness, you don't have to be old to have this problem, my BIL might change clothes several times in one day and never sets anything aside to wear a second time, even if he has only had it on for a couple of hours.
It could be either the relative or FIL who is at the root of it all. You might want to ask (carefully) about all the laundry to see if you can discover why there is so much and whether there is something they can do on their end to minimize it.
