In theory, probably not.  In practice, most definitely, especially if 
you don't "own" the DNS server.

Again, not everyone has that luxury.  There exist many web hosting 
providers whose only means of updating DNS is a crummy web application. 
CheaperDomains for example does this, and allows just 4 TXT records.

https://community.cloudflare.com/t/dns-record-limit/169997 suggests a 
limit of 1000 records for CloudFlare for example (and its import 
instructions limit the zone file to 256KiB).
