I understand why you will not hire a lawyer. It is better for all because you do not listen. THERE IS NO LIMIT. If there is no limit, no one can give you a number, So disregard this answer because I did not give you a number. How about 100, 99, 98, 97, 96...

There are limits on request to admits and interrogatories. Check your local rules for specific requirements, as it varies from county to county. If you are poor, contact legal aid.

I also answered your question last week. You can request as many documents as you need for yourcase. There is no limit but the documents must be relevant to your case.
