Some historical posts from users have reported having up to 6 RBS50s connected to 1 RBR50. Ohter RBS like RBS20s and RBW30s work as well.
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
