In pgpool-II only the total number of DB nodes is limited by
MAX_NUM_BACKENDS, which is currently 128 (can be easily changed by
editing the source code). This means you could have up to 127 slaves.

Regarding the documentaion, thanks for the good suggestion. I
personally didn't notice "master/slave" implies only 1 slave is
allowed. I will update the documentation.
