Not primary partitions, but you can have lots of partitions in an extended partition. I think the limit there is 32, giving a theoretical maximum of 128.

The usual maximum is four under most PC Bios.
Others vary.

Except for machines that can boot multiple OSs, there is no need for many partitions on the drive. All my machines have only one or two partitions and use LVM or LVM2 with devmapper.
