You can currently have an unlimited number of sidebars. Each sidebar can be called indepentenly by a shortcode and you can call more than one per post/page. Sidebars can be included in the post/page by using a shortcode like [widgets_on_pages id=x] where x is the number of the sidebar. Sidebars can also be named via the Widgets on Pages options page and that name can be used instead of the x id.
