I think some of the 'had hads' are out of place, and this is the sentence:
Jan had had "had", whereas Geoffrey had had "had had". "Had had" had had their fellow authors' approval.
Jan had had "had", whereas Geoffrey had had "had had". "Had had" had had their fellow authors' approval.

No...all the 'had hads' are in the right place, Abbie. Try harder, you almost got it right.
