I believe you will find you are only limited by hydraulics.
I know some jurisdictions have it in their amendments.

Also please remember. If you add a sprinkler, that is no longer an arm over but 
a branch line. Which might have to have a restraint if you are seismically 
inclined..

Subject: Revamping An Existing System

I was always taught when doing an upfit you only replace 1 for 1, meaning if 
here was 1 existing head on an arm-over you couldn't say add another "new" head 
and now be feeding 2 heads off that same arm-over, otherwise you'd have to add 
a new arm-over to the branchline for the new head. Now that may have come from 
a spec long long ago but I swore it was also in NFPA, however I don't see it 
worded that way in the standard. Any help?
