How many ings can be stuffed in this sentence using connecting words like and, not, etc? Please help
There is no limit in grammar. Three participles is not a problem at all. Having very many such phrases would be annoying and poor style.
This is essentially a list, and there is no limit on how many items can be in a list:
Go to the shops and buy apples, bananas, carrots, doughnuts and eggs.
He sat in the corner eating an apple, peeling a banana, waving a carrot, stuffing a doughnut and cracking an egg.
