How many

Seven but on occasion for safety purposes they will allow a Eighth over the wall.

Here is what it is comprised of.
The jackman: jacks up the car so that the tires can be replaced. The jackman will, also, usually pull the old right rear tire off of the car after the rear tire changer loosens the lug nuts. This is to help get the new right rear tire on faster. The jackman is the one who signals for the driver to leave the pits by dropping the jack.
The front tire changer: changes only the front tires with air wrench. Removes lug nuts, removes the old tire, and tightens the new tire's lug nuts.
The rear tire changer: changes only rear tires with air wrench. Removes lug nuts, removes the old tire, and tightens the new tire's lug nuts.
The gas man: fills the car with gasoline with a special gas can. The gas man may, also, help pull old tires off of race car after lug nuts are loosened if the car does not need fuel or if the car needs little fuel and the gas man finishes his job before any one else.
The catch can man: catches any fuel overflow in a small gas can and usually holds one gas can while the gas man fills car with the second gas can in the latter portions of a pit stop. The catch can man may also add or take out wedge and/or adjust the rear track bars during a pit stop. The refuelling gear is designed not to permit fuelling of the car without the catch can being attached to the car's overflow vent.
Front tire carrier: brings the new front replacement tires over the pit wall and guides them onto the studs. He also rolls the old front tires to the pit wall after the front tire changer pulls them off of the car. The front tire carrier is usually responsible for clearing debris off of the grill of a racecar and/or pulling the front fenders away from the tire if necessary. He may also be responsible for adding tape to the grill during a pit stop for more front-end downforce.
Rear tire carrier: responsible for bringing new rear tires over the pit wall. Typically, on the side of the car furthest from the pit wall, he will be responsible for guiding the new tire onto the studs, making any necessary adjustments to the rear track bar and/or wedge, and rolling the old tire back to the pit wall. On the side of the car closest to the pit wall, he is usually responsible for only sliding the new tire onto the studs.

Normally there are 7 over the wall crew,but in some cases an 8th man is added.However there are additional team members berhind the wall,crew cheif,car cheif, some teams have 1 or 2 runners,and there are a fuel carrier who pulls a cart with the fuel cans to the gas pumps.So there could be 10 to 13 people in the pits but only 7 over the wall.Ther also some team members at the transporter in case th car is brought to the garage.
That's all I have to say about that.

There are 7 members allowed to go over the wall to service the car. However, there is also the crew chief and several others who are also part of the pit crew. I am not sure if every team has the same amount in total or not.

I think 7 or 8 because there is a limit on how many pit crew personel that you can have working on the car at one time.
