The X/Open spec says "Implementations may limit the number of
non-spacing characters that can be associated with a spacing
character, provided any limit is at least 5."
But I guess, in practice, 3 will be enough. Some precombined Greek
characters like "GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND VARIA AND
YPOGEGRAMMENI" have three accents, therefore it seems that terminal
emulators should be able to display them even if they come in
decomposed form.
