There is an 11 item limit on the number of vertical nav items.

The vertical navigation can show sub-nav for ‘child’ pages that are set show it in the navigation. Vertical sub-nav shows when a visitor clicks into that section. Word counts • There are 22 characters per line. • Vertical nav titles can wrap to the next line if they are longer than 22 characters or if you use one that exceeds 22 characters

Footer (white text in footer bar)
The footer navigation can accommodate up an unlimited number of items, however, if too many are entered, the items will wrap to new lines, breaking the template. Therefore, please be judicious with this navigation area.
