Technically the limit would be somewhere on the order of... a hell of a lot more than you could conceivably hit. Even with clustering it is unlikely you would hit that high. But even assuming just the hda-hdz, that would be 26, add the sda-sdz, we are now at 52. Assuming you wanted hdaa-hdzz and sdaa-sdzz... Yeah... now you are looking at 26^26x2. That is quite an absurdly large number. 6.156*10^36x2 = approximately 12312239160400000000000000000000000000 drives. Even clustering, good luck with that.
