Essentially, the system will kill application processes to make room for new ones in case of contention. There are also some rules to avoid killing system services, or even application services before activities, but the idea is still the same.
Which means that the maximum amount of VM instances you can get depends on the available RAM on your devices, what other services are running, etc.. It's hard to give any accurate number then.
