There's effectively no limit within nagios that I am aware of. If  
there is, I suspect it's if the total command_line length exceeds 1024  
or 65536 characters but I don't really think those limits exist unless  
your shell imposes them.

In the example from your e-mail, you only saw 8 because the 9th, and  
last one, was $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ which isn't valid for event_handlers  
and was therefor null. If you passed other macros that are valid for  
event_handlers, you would see more.
