Is there a limit as to the number of components can be in a single mission?
The question: Is there a limit as to the number of components can be in a single mission? arises from (just thinking about) combining/ stacking (3) sets of 9 panoramas, each with 21 photos.

No
Not to disagree with Jim, but there are practical limits.
If you add too much to a plan then, like when trying to create maps that are too large, it puts a lot of strain on the device and also requires a long time to estimate the plan and a slow start. So, while you can technically put as much as you like in there, I would keep it down to avoid frustration when starting/restarting missions.
Sure but that is less about the number of components, and more about the total duration of all the components put together. You could have a ton of really small maps and be fine, or one giant map and have many struggles.
Hi Barry & Jim,
Thank you for your replies.
In the example given for this post, there isn't a map, rather there are (3) sets of (9) panos, each of which produce 21 photos made from 4 rows; 7 frames, 7 frames, 5 frames and 2 frames.
Yesterday I ran a partial field test here at home, but stopped the mission after depletion of the first battery. There were no issues observed during the flight. The first tier at 120 m completed its 9 panos then transitioned as expected to the second tier at 60 m where it completed 2 more panos before RTH due to the low battery. The primary reason for stopping the mission was because I had the last set of 9 flown at an altitude of 25 m where being on a frozen lake isn't worrisome, but was a concern on the local tree covered hill.
