Is there an upper limit on how many individual requests that can be bundled up together as part of the bulk and mget apis?

You will run into limits related to the overall size of the request, but there is no other imposed limit as far as I know. It is worth noting that larger requests not necessarily results in better performance so it often helps to not make them too big.
