In FrameMaker 5.5, the maxium number of variables was 2^24. I don't
know if it has increased.
I worked on an API reference with thousands of variables (they were
exported from the source code so any change to the code was
automatically updated in Frame).

> I've created books that contain well over a hundred variables. I don't know if there is a limit, but I'll bet you don't encounter it. :-)
