We show that if a separable Rosenthal compactum K is an n-to-one preimage of a metric compactum, but it is not an n-1-to-one preimage, then K contains a closed subset homeomorphic to either the n-Split interval Sn(I) or the Alexandroff n-plicate Dn(2^ℕ). This generalizes a result of the third author that corresponds to the case n=2.
