As many as you want. Why not try some tests for yourself, you'll be amazed at what you can learn?

There is no limit defined in "the standard" - which means it's likely to be implementation dependant, and can vary from system to system depending on how the library author was feeling when you wrote it.

But...given that it reads from stdin and thus is intended for user input rather than a file it would probably be a good idea to minimise the amount you process in a single statement in order to reduce the "PITA factor" when the user makes a mistake in the second value...
