Management High availability - Max supported members

In the Check Point Security Management R80 Administration Guide. it stated

A Management High Availability environment includes:

One Active Security Management Servee
One or more Standby Security Management Server

The question is, what is the max supported members in Management HA?

Nice question - it seems Standby SMS can be any number, but you have to get sync working for all of them.8) I would not suggest to use Management HA except in very special deployments ! Keeping the SMS in a VM has all the good sides, but not the old sync issues of you may experience with Management HA...

Can you provide the precise reference where this is stated?
In practice, I've never seen more than 2 members in management HA.
