I'm not aware of any defined limit. But if you look at the fields in the M-Notification.Ind message, you'll see that most fields are simple byte code values, except for X-Mms-Transaction-ID, From, Subject and X-Mms-Content-Location.

Section 6.4.6 of the MMS Conformance Document specifies the following as maximum lengths for these fields:

Transaction ID: 40 characters
X-MMS-Content-Location: 100 characters
Subject: 40 characters (Max subject length in M_Notification.ind)

However, it does not specify a maximum length for the "From" field.

Basically, when you take these size factors into consideration ... and impose a conservative limit on the "From" field of 100 bytes, an MMS notification message is unlikely to consume more than 3 SMS segments.

If I were designing an implementation, I would be conservative even further, and allow for up to 5 segments ... but that is just my conservative nature.
