The current versions should not have a practical limit to the volume file size (the file system and catalog could, though, but these limits should not matter in real-life setups). I recommend a volume size that allows you to move the volumes in case you ever need to. For example, if you want to be able to copy them to DVD, limit their size to about 4.5 GB. If you want to transfer them via USB disk, 30 to 50 GB might be reasonable. For network transfers, a limit of a few GB would be better than 200GB. The number of volumes is really not a problem, unless you overload your file system, but a few thousand files in one directory shouldn't be too much of a problem.
