I think it's limited by the maximum matrix size, the upper limit of which
depends on the flavour of Stata you have. You can change the maximum
matrix size with -set matsize-.
That said, lots of overidentifying restrictions (number of excluded IVs
minus number of endogenous regressors) means potential for large finite
sample bias, and these days the standard advice seems to be don't overdo
it with the number of instruments.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mark
