After each write to a certain output file, you simply have to close the output file before writing to the next file. Otherwise, you will encounter the limit you said. For example:

Code:
echo | nawk '{
   print("test1") > "file1";
   close("file1");

   print("test2") > "file2";
   close("file2");

   print("test3") > "file3";
   close("file3");

   .....

   print("testN") > "fileN";
   close("fileN");
}'
