There’s no theoretical limit—you can divide the signal by adding splitters to splitters—but there is a practical limit.
Adding splitters doesn’t increase the total coverage area; it divides it. For example, if there’s enough outside signal for the weBoost Office 200 to cover 20,000 square feet, splitting that to 4 inside antennas means each antenna will provide 5,000 square feet of coverage. Splitting to 5 antennas (1 × 4-way splitter + 1 × 2-way splitter) means 3 antennas will give you 5,000 square feet and 2 will divide the remaining 5,000 into 2,500 square feet each.. Splitting to 8 antennas (1 × 4-way splitter + 4 × 2-way splitters) will give you 2,500 square feet per antenna. You’re just “slicing the pie thinner,” so to speak.
Those “thin slices” may be an effective option if you have many small rooms with concrete or metal walls between them that prevents signal from passing. If you have wood studs and drywall, however, fewer antennas is a better option because the signal will pass through those materials.
