Sharing a client cert for EAP-TLS with many identical devices?

Hi all,
not exactly an FR problem, but at least I hope not a trivial question:
My institution is taking part in a program to test the use of 100+ WiFi
Clients handed out to students for use during a lecture or even for
online exams. So we have 140 iPads along with a "filling station"
for easy bulk configuration. WiFi auth will be done with EAP-TLS
against FR. Now my question: Do I definitely need 140 client certs
to deploy them on the iPads or could I get along with one cert for #
all?
The only drawback I can see is that if one iPad gets lost,
I have to renew the client cert on _all_ of them, which I
could bear due to the easy bulk config. Anything else?
THX in advance
Martin
