Can you hit the same creature multiple times with this spell?

My Google-fu failed, where do I find this spell?

It's in Spell Compendium. Not going to check it right now, but iirc it actually specified you couldn't affect the same creature more than once. I always get confused though, because that book has another fire spell that's very similar, and I tend to mix up aspects of the two.

Ok, found it, Explosive Cascade.
Since the area is one 5' square/level, and it states a continuous path, I see a creative application of the wording to include winding the line of this spell in a loop over the same space more than once, are you asking if you can loop in this manner and therefore if you could deal multiple attacks worth of damage?
The first thing I think of as a precedent to this concept is some of the Tome of Battle Desert Wind, fire-related maneuvers. The Firesnake, a maneuver that makes a winding line of fire, specifically states that you cannot hit an opponent more than once with the attack. It's a level 4 maneuver, instantaneous, reflex-half, supernatural ability and in many ways similar to this spell.
All in all, I'm guessing the answer is No.

Well the initial ruling is that I said you couldnt hit the same square twice.
However, there is the case of a large or greater creature.

Think I've answered my own question, not sure why I didnt notice this before, directly from the spell text:
A creature or object can be affected only once by each casting of this spell.
