42, or less, or no limit, depending on what you really mean.
A Panel is manufactured for some number of circuits and more cannot be added. And the national electrical code limits a panel to 42 circuits. You can get more branch circuits by using subpanels (a circuit breaker in the main panel supplies a feeder to another panel). The total number of branch circuits is not limited. The 200A is just the limit the service can supply, which is the sum of actual branch circuit loads (not the sum of the circuit breakers).

I don't think that there is a maximum number of breakers allowed. Normally Building Codes and Electric Codes specified the minimum required or a minimum standard, not the maximum allowed.
Why would you want so many breakers, that would only make more difficult to tract lights and outlets to a breaker.

200 amp is your max draw,
depending on your fuse size
say 1 amp fuse= 200.
10 amp=20
and so on
