I've had up to 5 external ID's per object before without question. Actually, you can request more external ID’s by logging a ticket with Salesforce.

Despite the virtues extolled all over the docs, the limit can be used up by other apps very quickly. Then your installation fails. It is crazy to impose this limit after pushing externalIDs in the docs. Salesforce's own example app uses ALL THREE external IDs for the Contact object. In that example, noone else could use externalIDs. I strongly recommend NOT using external IDs. Despite the virtues extolled all over the docs, the limit can be used up by other apps very quickly.
