and if we have hundreds of thousands of users, is it possible to
partition into multiple repositories for scalability; instead of
having just one repository ?

Yes. You can split up the data into different suffixes and databases on a single server (analogous to Novell "partitions" if you are familiar with those), or you can use chaining to have multiple servers host the data, and you can use entry distribution to distribute the entries in a single suffix among multiple servers.
