It depends on the worm species actually. When you cut a worm in half, some species have the ability to regenerate a new "tail" which means you won't get two worms, you will get one alive worm and a dead tail of another. Very very few can generate a head. If you cut a normal worm to close to its head, it will die no matter what.
So the official answer is just once.
Moral of the story, now that you know, you don't need to cut any to find out.
I hope this helps solve your curiosity.

Why would you even want to know that? Are you going to chop up an innocent worm just to find out? Worms are good for the environment - chop up a carrot instead.

Once - it is a myth that it will grow into 2 worms - you just get 2 halves of a dead worm.

Please don't do that. Its not nice. Change the subject of your investigation, how many times can you chop yourself up before you die? I can help if you want?

Only once. I know that both sides wriggle around for a while, but it will eventually die.
