The question was how to support hundreds of tomato plants.

I guess my question is how are you wanting to train each plant? Single Vine, Or let it go freely?

When I let my plants grow freely, Nothing is better than a Reinforcement Wire Cage. It is expensive.

I am letting some of my grounds sit unused for a couple of years--------meanwhile I am growing some tomato plants in 25 gallon pots with the reinforcement wire cages.

Some clothes line method systems are just that.
Some are made with 4x4 post, and a top rail of 2x4s and tomatoes are tied to the 2x4s. Other just use clothes line wire instead of 2x4 lumber.
Tie twine to base of plant just under a leaf , run twine up to the clothes line wire----or 2x4 . As the plant grows you wrap the vine around the twine. WhaLA
