How many instuructions can a CPU take at once?

It depends on the capacity/memory of the cpu. Any queries that the cpu cannot process are put in the "queue" to wait on resources. The queries can wait indefinitely or there may be a system "timeout" parameter set that will kill a process if it waits for a designated amount of time.
