I think the reasoning for limiting to 8 might be the desk length needed :-o not to mention the noise / power supply concerns.
I remember reading about a 20 metre desk or something with 255 microdrives although was in jest I expect. -

White Spectrum+Hi Folks, There is a photo of a white Spectrum+ on Rick Dickinson's website - did this actually exist i.e. working machine? Paddy
Shame though as I think the 128K+ with a built-in Microdrive (QL Nano :-D) would have been great. Plus it would have increased the market for Microdrives?
Ah well, hindsight is great fun.
