There's something called a NewPP limit report, which apparently gives you the size of the page.

As you can see, Post-expand include size meets the max size. I did some reading about this on Wikipedia (which, although not affiliated with Wikia, is based on the same software) and it seems this is put in place to prevent a DoS attack. In a DoS attack, you force the server to do too much work (in this case, process 1,000 templates) and it could slow down or crash. If possible, substitute the code directly onto the page by putting subst: in front of Nihongo: and it will put what is rendered automatically. If you want me to, I can do this for you by using a bot.

To answer your first question (after doing all of this investigation), yes and no. Yes, in that the server won't process as much information as you would like to to, and no in that it doesn't give you a set number of templates that you can post.
