Is there a limit on the number of Horcruxes a person can make?

bboyminn:

Voldemort made SEVEN because seven is a magically powerful
number. Note he also used Magically Powerful objects, and
hide them in locations that were magically significant to 
him. So, seven was important because of its magical 
power, but I don't think it was limited to seven.

Certainly you could make 100 horcruxes, but to do it you 
would have to MURDER 100 PEOPLE, then separate yourself 
from 100 pieces of your soul. We can see how Voldemort
damaged himself by separating himself from 6 pieces. 
Imagine the loss of humanity that would accompany the
separation of 100 pieces of your soul. It's unthinkable.

In Voldemort's mind, Seven is more powerful that 100
because seven is a magically powerful number. To have
more or less, is less magically powerful to his way of 
thinking. So, seven's the number.
