Does anyone have experience of problems/limitations in networker when
using multiple AFTD's? Or other area's of consideration when increasing 
the number of AFTD's.

We presently use 3 on one SN and 4 on the other. We are considering
increasing this number by at least one on each, maybe more and will be
buying extra drives to accommodate with staging/clonning.
What you're planning shouldn't present any real problems, so long as you have the bandwidth within the storage environment to accommodate the additional disk backup units - e.g., if they're being presented from a SAN, make sure that the SAN is going to be able to readily support the additional disk backup units.
I've worked with plenty of sites with a much larger number of disk backup units, both on the backup server and storage nodes, so there's no limitations as such with the number you're looking at. 

Cheers,

Preston.
