This Letter extends the previous results reported by ALICE to more peripheral collisions. No strong change of the overall shape of charged-particle pseudorapidity density distributions with centrality is observed, and when normalised to the number of participating nucleons in the collisions, the evolution over pseudorapidity with centrality is likewise small. The broad pseudorapidity range (class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0370269316000678&_mathId=si2.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0370269316000678&_rdoc=1&_issn=03702693&md5=d532320d1e1e7bc9addbae5aef2f97f0" title="Click to view the MathML source">−3.5<η<5class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">3.5<η<5) allows precise estimates of the total number of produced charged particles which we find to range from class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0370269316000678&_mathId=si3.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0370269316000678&_rdoc=1&_issn=03702693&md5=ac8e6f94f0fcf75971ab8c3febefccbe" title="Click to view the MathML source">162±22(syst.)class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">162±22(syst.) to class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0370269316000678&_mathId=si4.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0370269316000678&_rdoc=1&_issn=03702693&md5=93a2833ededa215eac67326147c44b4c" title="Click to view the MathML source">17170±770(syst.)class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">17170±770(syst.) in 80–90% and 0–5% central collisions, respectively. The total charged-particle multiplicity is seen to approximately scale with the number of participating nucleons in the collision. This suggests that hard contributions to the charged-particle multiplicity are limited.
