Nah j/k, I believe the solution will pretty much become clear by playing and testing what works best. Because to me, it actually sounds more like a balance problem.

I dont think you should give too high a bonus to players who are scoring combos all the time, because others that dont will fall behind way too quickly. (ie, the points of two minutes worth of playing against the same number of points of 2 big combos in less then 10 secs)
The same goes for the items. To me, even 24 items sounds like a lot of items.

Then again, I dont have a good grasp of how it will be in the game, so I can´t say for sure, if this makes any sense at all.
