I counted 47 original AutoText entries, although that might be off by a few
because this isn't a pristine copy of Word. Similarly, it looks like there
are 927 original AutoCorrect entries, give or take a few.

According to the official documentation
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211489), the number of AutoText entries
is limited only by the maximum file size of 32 MB of text, which also
applies to the templates that must contain the AT entries. That implies you
could have any number from one enormous AT entry to millions of little ones.
Further, you can have more than one template contributing AT entries at the
same time.

The documentation is silent on the maximum number of AutoCorrect entries.
Formatted entries are stored in templates, so they're also subject to the
maximum file size. Unformatted entries are stored in .ACL files, and I don't
know whether there's any limit on them.

If you ever hit a limit, be sure to come back and let us know what it is.
