Dear SrI Rangarajan :

Occasionally , there are coconut sized SaaLigrAmams 
(rare ones) that one comes across that are worshipped at home.
Other medium sized ones are also known.All can be worshipped
at home. because of the irrational fear of size and correlating
it to some ugra power , people give them away to the temples.

Bhagavaan is present as "aNOr aNIyAn , MahathOr mahIyAn"
(Smaller than the atom and bigger than the biggest). 
In SaaLagrAma Moorthams , his soulabhyam is specail.
Hence one does not need to be afraid .

Regarding your other question , there is no  limit to
numbers except that 3 to a dozen smaller sized ones 
are containable from a practicality point of  of view
in thelimited space of Koil AzhwAr. At big  sannidhis like 
Sudarsana AzhwAr  Sannidhi at Kaanchi, you will find  a large
assembage of Sudarsana SaalagrAmams alone.
