I have never run across one so there is likely no *practical* limit.  I
could very well be corrected on this though.

Unless you are making lots and lots of small OSTs -- which is not
usually beneficial anyway -- typically, you will run into resource
limitations (memory, bus bandwidth, etc.) on an OSS before you hit a
limit on the number of OSTs.

Just how many OSTs are you considering, and how big will they be?
