According to Matt Welsh's book "Running Linux": "A single swap file or partition may be up to 16 megabutes in size. If you wish to use more than 16 megabytes of swap, you can create multiple swap partitions or files - up to eight in all."
Contrary to that recomendation, I have a linux system that uses a single 50 megabytes partition and never gave me problems. Maybe because I never have to use more than 16 megabytes of it...
