I have heard that PD is limited to a 32 channel [dac~]. Does this mean that I can have only 32 outs from single instance of pd?

where did you hear that? tell them that it is non-sense.

A hypothetical: If I had 100 speakers in a line and wanted to "pan" across them would I need several (networked) instances of pd running?

currently there is no hardware available that would offer such a number of speakers. the best you get is MADI cards (64 channels each) - and they work nicely with Pd.

we have a PC equipped with to MADI cards, which should give you 128 channels I/O, but i never tried it from Pd. using both would involve merging the 2 cards into a single virtual card using asoundrc.
