I am not aware of a specific limit to the number of values in a multivalued field. Essentially, a multi-valued field is the same as a very long tokenised field - so a document containing a full Shakespeare play for example.
If you are doing searches against a document set of this type, then you will be going from terms to documents. In this case, a single one of your terms will map back to your document, in which case, it really doesn't matter how many such terms map back to the document, performance will be comparable. However, if you are attempting faceting, for example, when you want to calculate the facet counts for this field, you will need to increment the bucket for every value for your field for each document, and in such a case you can expect performance to collapse.
