Presumably an encyclopedia is finite, there's a finite number of things that a person would expect to find in an encyclopedia, and each article can only be so big, before it gets broken up and/or merged.
Well, I suppose an encyclopedia is limited in some way by the number of atoms in the universe, but for practical purposes the only real limit is whatever the writers impose on it.
I think there are well over a billion topics to write about. The theoretical limit hasn't been approached yet.
