While the AIX specific answer is below, what does it have to do with 
OpenBSD?

In AIX the answer is a qualified YES -- qualified in that ultimately 
there is a limit to the size of the volume group which varies based on 
some key parameters (namely PP size and concurrent capability). For 
proper operation, LVM has an internal limitation of 1016 PPs per PV, 
and 32 PVs per concurrent-capable VG.
