(i.e. cable has a fixed number of channels available but all are used).
This case requires the physical splitting of the cable segment and the addition of optical nodes. These new nodes will require fibre and power (and a home).

I'll take "overutilised" to mean, say 90% of capacity. The capacity of 8 downstream channels is c. 400 Mbps. That can't be utilised > 100% obviously.
If you mean a user's cable to the home, then if the sending end can deliver at the sync speed (say 100 meg), then across the 8 bonded channels, the user is only utilising 25%.
If you mean the aggregation cable back to the optical node, then it's easy to reach 90% on those 8 downstream channels with, say, 20 users realistically downloading at 20 Mbps (a delivery rate from the sender).
