I don't think there's a limit. A quick Google search yielded this.

Answer 2

The standard does not specify any limitation, but individual browsers may have practical ones.

Answer 3

There are no such limitations imposed by the specification:

class

The attribute, if specified, must have a value that is a set of space-separated tokens representing the various classes that the element belongs to.
