Trick question. No matter how many projects I have active in any given time I am still only ever working on one at a time. I do a next action related to single project and then do another one. So one project at a time but serially.
What I think you are really asking is how many active projects is reasonable.
From discussions here I can tell you I am on the upper end of most folks. Right now as of tonight I have 171 current active projects who have next actions in my lists. I have a further 68 projects waiting for a start date to arrive before they become active. My someday maybe list of projects is close to 600.
I keep active any projects that I think I can possibly work on during this season which is abut 3 months. I'm far more comfortable with a large set of possible actions from which to choose.
