Do you mean how many can you use I in parallel for different circuits? Or how many you can put one after the other?
I'm pretty sure that without changing the source code you can only use one bridge at the start of each circuit. Now if you mean in parallel I don't know how Tor behaves if you give it a list of, let's say, 10 bridges BUT, in any case, keep in mind that the more bridge nodes you connect directly to, the more you risk connecting to a compromised one which can lead to timing attacks. BTW you should take the conversation to the tor-talk list since it's not about relays or hidden service operators anymore (and I'm not even sure if this list is for hidden service operators either). Cheers.
