I have red that page many times and search for manual keying also. . But that didn't answer my question. Anyway I got an answer from cisco group saying that
Basically yes. Each line in your ACL actually builds a separate tunnel, with unique SPI's. If you use manual keys, you can only provide one set of SPI's, and therefore, the router/firewall can only build one tunnel, hence only one line in your ACL. With IKE, it dynamically creates unique SPI's per tunnel/ACL line, and therefore you're not limited.
