Maybe the OP means 'is there a limit to the size of a cron file?'

Not really. However maintining it is going to be difficult. You should use crontab -e on your crontab, so if you have thousands of entries it may become cumbersome to edit.
The other issue is one of flooding the system with jobs, which can affect performance.
