Maybe Matthew can answer that - I wouldn't think that the specification would limit the amount of NVRAM - but I would expect implementations to do so. Generally the EFI persistent space has to share the same flash chip as the BIOS ... and the BIOS folks are good at filling up all the space with their own code & data. These chips are still only a few (4, 8) Megabytes or so.
