You will have to break your formula with batches of 19 IF functions and combine them using &. Check these links for more information and examples:
- What is the maximum syntax formulas that I can use in calculated column on my SharePoint list?
- What is the workaround for limit in nested if statements in SharePoint calculated column?

ganeshsanap Thank you for your assistance. You were correct and breaking the formula with "&" did the trick.
For anyone looking for the corrected formula for similar use, I have included this below.
=IF(AND([Likelihood]="Rare (1)",[Consequence]="Insignificant (1)"),"Low",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Rare (1)",[Consequence]="Minor (1)"),"Low",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Rare (1)",[Consequence]="Medium (3)"),"Low",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Rare (1)",[Consequence]="Major (4)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Rare (1)",[Consequence]="Critical (5)"),"High",""))))) &
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Unlikely (2)",[Consequence]="Insignificant (1)"),"Low",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Unlikely (2)",[Consequence]="Minor (1)"),"Low",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Unlikely (2)",[Consequence]="Medium (3)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Unlikely (2)",[Consequence]="Major (4)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Unlikely (2)",[Consequence]="Critical (5)"),"High",""))))) &
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Possible (3)",[Consequence]="Insignificant (1)"),"Low",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Possible (3)",[Consequence]="Minor (1)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Possible (3)",[Consequence]="Medium (3)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Possible (3)",[Consequence]="Major (4)"),"High",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Possible (3)",[Consequence]="Critical (5)"),"High",""))))) &

IF(AND([Likelihood]="Likely (4)",[Consequence]="Minor (1)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Likely (4)",[Consequence]="Medium (3)"),"High",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Likely (4)",[Consequence]="Major (4)"),"High",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Likely (4)",[Consequence]="Critical (5)"),"Extreme",""))))) &
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Almost Certain (5)",[Consequence]="Insignificant (1)"),"Moderate",
IF(AND([Likelihood]="Almost Certain (5)",[Consequence]="Minor (1)"),"Moderate",
