AFAIK, there is no arbitrary limit to the number of interfaces
Shorewall supports.  If there is, it is (probably much) higher
than four.

AFAIK, there is no limit to the number of interfaces Shorewall supports.
Perhaps, there is a limit of the Kernel or the NIC driver (if all
interfaces are the same type of NIC).

I'm using Shorewall with 21 ethernet interfaces and it works well. (eth0
to eth20)

You are correct that there is no arbitrary limit on the number of interfaces supported by Shorewall. I only provide sample configurations for up to 3 interfaces but my own firewall has 4 (see http://www.shorewall.net/myfiles.htm).
