The last pardon will be for himself just as the Senate starts voting for impeachment (assuming they get to that point). He will be in the ground before the courts resolve whether a sitting President can pardon himself.

Chances are that the actual case for pre-election conspiracy with the Russians will not be clear cut (if it was I don't think we would have reached this point).
