It is not common knowledge because there is no such limitation in gnuplot.

If you don't show us the error message, we can't offer much help.

Here is a simple gnuplot script that plots from 26 files with no error.
The files are named A.dat, B.dat, ... Z.dat
It uses the "for [i=1:N]" syntax from version 4.6, but that's just to make
it shorter as an example.  The iteration has nothing to do with plotting
lots of files other than to make the command shorter:

  file_list = "A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z"
  file_name(i) = word(file_list,i) . ".dat"

  plot for [i=1:26] file_name(i) using i title file_name(i)
