I'm doing some 17th century arias some of which have up to 7 or 8 verses with the same music. How many can one enter under the music without making the whole illegible? Starting with how many would it be preferable to add them separately after the music?

Having struggled with church hymns where verses 5 & 6 are printed separately, I would always include them all. To do otherwise means that you expect memorization. Besides, syllabification decisions are then yours, not the singers'.
