It says that fewer than 100 features is "not Substantial". It also gives as an example "More that 100 Features only if the extraction is non-systematic and clearly based on your own qualitative criteria for example an extract of all the the locations of restaurants you have visited for a personal map to share with friends or use the locations of a selection of historic buildings as an adjunct in a book you are writing, we would regard that as non Substantial." BTW, a list of flats/houses for sale in the current time period is not too far off from these examples. And that is for extracting the entirety of each feature. The Geocoding Guideline states: "Furthermore, if only names are provided in Geocoding Results from OSM -- in particular, latitude/longitude information from OSM is not included in the Geocoding Results -- a collection of such results is not a substantial extract." There's no 100 feature limit at all for geocoding.
