For starters, at least two. So what's the upper limit? Can I just keep packing and packing? And is there any reason to do so? Does it make them/it more powerful?

Whether or not it's a good idea depends on how you deal with "bandwidth" as it were. You can have all the knowledge to reshape the world. Trouble is, you only have the two hands.

More souls = More power, in anyone's typical and ill-defined storytelling mechanic. Then you get into the issue of whether or not conflict between them will interfere with that power.

I wanna say three.

Well on my 700 hour playthru on sky rim I got almost 100 dragon souls absorbed into me. So probably a lot

Well, dragon souls are kinda different. It might be similar to the Soul Gem to Soul Cairn system where "used" souls are sent elsewhere.

Why three?

Because a trinity is a nifty mechanic.

^This. Also Talos.

Which begs the question - what about the Charges of the Three souls? Talos is the Warrior, the Thief and the Mage rolled into one, but each of these has three lesser Charges. How deep does the rabbit hole go?

The body is like a machine. Only one soul or battery is enough to drive it but however every body has different slots. More souls will do nothing but give the body more energy, if you need more power or strength, download more softwares.
