There's no hard upper limit. The cost is basically the backend memory
space needed to store the query parse and plan trees, which of course
depends quite a lot on the complexity of the query, but I'd think we'd
be talking a few kilobytes for typical queries. So you could probably
store order-of-100 prepared plans without thinking about it, even in a
system with a lot of active backends.
