You can have as many tunnels as you have TUN or TAP devices and ports...
I think those are limited to 256 by some hard-coded limit in the kernel
which can likely be raised... limiting yourself to the number of TCP/UDP
ports.

You should be just fine with only ten tunnels... each one will have its
own openvpn daemon instance, its own TCP/UDP port, its own config file,
and its own TUN or TAP device.
