I think you could plug SCSI-adapter and connect 15 harddisk to it, and
it's SCSI-bios could allow access to all those 15 harddisks. And nothing
says that you couldn't plug yet another SCSI-adapter. But how common
this case is, is an another issue :)...

I think there is limit of 127 harddisks in BIOS interface?

Maybe a smaller like 15 or 16 could be good limit?
