I can't find any hard limits poking through the man pages, but I suppose
you get into trouble when you hit partition 'z'.  Having a lot of
filesystems is impractical to deal with, since you have to mount them all
to use them.  

How, I suppose you just create more partitions by specifying them in the
disklabel.

You aren't asking about DOS partitions, are you?
