It will support hundreds .. the issue is how many paths you learn which is what will use both CPU and memory.
I dont exactly remember the limit but I think when we hit 120000 BGP routes was when I had to take my NPE-200s out of service just because it ran out of memory. But even before the memory limit was hit, the router was low on resources. I am guessing you are only talking of a few thousand routes and a handful of BGP peers? In which case it will be fine...
