If they aren't attacking one PC 16 times, then attack two or three PCs at once simply by targetting them. Those you miss will be dropped before the damage roll. If there's 4 PCs and the hydras attack each one, that's 4 attacks on 1 roll.
I do this a lot both as a player and a DM describing a multi attack as a "sweep" with a weapon that goes for 2 people. Instead of rolling both attacks separately, I target both enemies and roll 1 attack.
