Definitely 5, maybe 10-13 stable? I think that depends more on your HDD (solid state works way, way, way better) and the RAM/power of your graphics card. (also your bandwidth and if you are using the computer at the same time or not)
Also, update on my stuff that might help others:
I've found that even though I was able to run everything fairly stable at 36 VMs, a lot would afk out due to lag/other reasons I'm not completely sure of (most likely the processor or something "forgetting" about a few VMs until the load was lower). By increasing all of them from 256mb of ram to 512mb I found that even though CPU usage was 100% and same with my graphics card, I've had much fewer AFK's and much faster times switching between VMs. I have extra ram to spare (32gb total) so I'll probably upgrade them all to 768mb.
Conclusion:
While the bot can easily run on Tiny7 at 256mb (and apparently 128mb) ram, actually increasing the ram can help at high amounts of VMs despite the bottleneck being the processor. 512 is vastly superior to 256.
