I believe that this is a hard-coded limit of X itself, not Gnome:

"You can use multi-layouts xkb configuration. What does it mean?
Basically it allows to load up to four different keyboard layouts at a
time. Each such layout would reside in its own group. The groups
(unlike complete keyboard remapping) can be switched very fast from one
to another by a combination of keys."

This is old, but AFAIK, still current.
