 Or you can have an adapter with a PCIe switch such as the SI-PEX40152 
<https://www.sybausa.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1052> 
plugged with up to 4 NVMe devices.  So it really looks to me like this 
should be dynamic or at least set to a reasonably high static limit such 
as 16.

 NB I have 12 buses present with various devices in the PCIe hierarchy 
with my Unmatched system, so it's up to the user really how far to extend 
the system and it has to be taken into account while arranging firmware 
configuration IMHO:
