  The deformation operator of the D1D5 orbifold CFT, a twist 2 operator, drives
the CFT towards the black hole dual and its physics is key to understanding
thermalization in the D1D5 system. To further study this deformation, we extend
previous work on the effect of twist 2 operators to a method that works for
higher orders, in the continuum limit. Our component twist method works by
building higher twist operators out of twist 2 operators together with
knowledge of Bogoliubov transformations. Consequently, this method sidesteps
limitations in Lunin-Mathur technology by avoiding lifts to the covering space.
We verify the method by reproducing results obtainable with Lunin-Mathur
technology. Going further, our method upholds a previously conjectured scaling
law in the continuum limit that applies to any generic configuration of twists.
We illustrate this with computations for a new configuration of two twist 2
operators that twists three copies together.
