If you're like most newer startups that have their customers under a TLD (foo.mycorp.com, bar.mycorp.com), you can use wildcard SSL to manage the problem. Otherwise, yeah, you're looking at one IP per TLD.

Am I correct in thinking that a wildcard only gets you one level deep? e.g. that *.mycorp.com matches "foo.mycorp.com" but not "foo.bar.mycorp.com"?

Depends on the browser, which in practice means just one level deep.
