Does "presumably irreducibly so" mean "presumably irreducibly so complex"?
Context:
In any case, even though genuinely irreducible complexity would
wreck Darwin's theory if it were ever found, who is to say that it
wouldn't wreck the intelligent design theory as well? Indeed, it
already has wrecked the intelligent design theory, for, as I keep say-
ing and will say again, however little we know about God, the one
thing we can be sure of is that he would have to be very very
complex and presumably irreducibly so!

NL888 however little we know about ***, the one thing we can be sure of is that he would have to be very very complex and presumably irreducibly so! The final word "so" takes the place of "complex". Thus, the writer is saying that *** would have to be irreducibly complex or at least we can presume that he is (considering all the properties attributed to him, I suppose).
