I have used the php format so that it can be easily parsed.Is there any way to get all the backlinks in one go.

No, the limits are there for a reason. Imagine someone requesting the full list of members of [[Category:Living people]] on enwiki would be available through the API; the servers would be in excruciating pain (if, of course, they could feel pain). You can still use the query-continue feature to get them all in multiple requests, of course.

Moreover i am only concerned with the number of backlinks. It is possible to get that?

No. Counting the number of backlinks would be too heavy on the database.
