The answer can be dependent on the stack height/rise of the stem, but the manufactuers have been pushing for a maximum of 4cm spacers to be used with forks with carbon steerers. Practically speaking, anything more than 4cm does bring up the question of whether or not the frame is a good match for the rider.

Does it say there is a limit?
If not, you can put as many of them as you want. Some say to even put a spacer on top of your stem like a 2.5mm but nobody does that either.
Unless they say you can't do it, you probably can.
Carbon fiber will EXPLODE!

from the easton technical section on forks http://www.eastonbike.com/downloadable_files_unprotected/instal_instr/fork_07-EN.pdf
"The spacer stack below the stem must not exceed 50 mm
(Figure 4).
• A carbon steerer tube must extend 7-8 mm above the top of the stem clamp and have a 10 mm spacer installed between the stem and the top cap (Figure 5)."

Not in any manuals or anything...
But I think a lot of guys use
1.5 x steerer thickness = max spacer height
I've seen more. Meh.

yep, it isn't mention in the installation literature that comes with the fork, only on the web site. The real drag is finding out that placing the stem against the upper bearing cap of the steerer like the pros do isn't recommended. kind of dangererous.
