 A question please: how do I get a large number of such symbols, as
 required? At present, I am able to get only a limited number (maybe 25
 or 50, not sure), after which error messages start showing up.

This is already very much. The default I know is ca. 10 symbols.

For a complete book, you need to re-use the footnote symbols, per page
or per chapter. Have a look at e.g. the LaTeX FAQ to find ways to
configure footnotes.

This is not possible. The TeX-font that is used for the symbols does not contain than more than 26? 
symbols. This is also stated in LyX's EmbeddedObjects manual.
