A male can normally breed many females but five is a safe number. I like to stick to 1 make to 5 females

If a male is bred to too many females he can die of sexual exhaustion or could get an infected hemipenes. Better to not take the chance

With proper breeding techniques, more specifically the resting of males between breeding (if you pair him to more than one female, or to the same female multiple times) there is not a reasonable risk of "sexual exhaustion" or infected hemipene. In fact, the infection would need to come from some where right? Human interaction of a filthy enclosure.

It mainly happens to careless people who want to breed a male to as many females as they can. I'm not saying it will happen, but there is a POSSIBILITY of it happening.

as with so many things, there is no clear number, but people like numbers and using their minds they manage to get them.

for example, and these are really examples i make up: someone thinks a healthy and useful scedule is to put a male to a female for 2 days, then give the male 3 days of rest, and then put him to the same or a different female for 2 days, 3 days rest, and so on. now these assumptions have consequences: with 5 females, one male will see each female every 25 days, for 2 days. is that enough for an acceptable fertility rate? how often should each female get to lock with a male to make sure it works? basically you add more assumptions, and you get a number. beyond a certain point it gets unacceptable, because the male would see too many females too often and would get exhausted, or if you give the male the rest time he needs, the females would see the male too rarely, and the gaps get so large that you get too many unfertilized eggs.

that being said, without a clear upper limit, i would say 5 makes a lot of sense.
