We estimate the number of metastable states of a self generated stripe glass, relevant for the formation of glassy doped Mott insulators. Using replica bound states, we demonstrate that the configurational entropy is the difference between the entropy of the stripe liquid and of an amorphous stripe solid with phonon-type excitations. Using simple scaling laws we then determine the relationship between the modulation length and the configurational entropy.
