Well yes ...
The reason I asked was that I've had startup messages from vi like 
  "too much macro text", and thought that this was because I had
  too many maps in my .exrc.  It was always cured by deleting some.
Now I find I can have lots more maps (total 66 at least) without getting
  complaints.  What might have been worrying vi ?
