Is the maximum number of pages I can have in a document limited to 10 or can I increase it?
Thanks
A curious question. Did you find a limit? Or is it just the largest document that you have created? If you can’t seem to get beyond page 10 in your document, can you upload it here to see what the problem might be.
If you go to LibreOffice Bookshelf you can download the Writer Guide in .odt format. It is a few hundred pages long and not only does it form a good example of length of document but it can also be used as a reference.
I’m quite sure even my first StarOffice on OS/2-Warp managed more than 10 pages, but at that time I was using mostly TeX.

So my answer is: You can not “increase” it, but there can be several hundred pages on current hardware before you will feel limits.Pages are not limited to the number of your fingers.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no official limit. Your practical limit is a combination of document complexity and hardware performance.
From personal experience, a single-file document with a moderate number of tables and images can reach 1000 pages. This supposes that your document is an .odt (native format) fully “styled”, without direct formatting. The latter is the most important, notably using character styles which do not exist in DOCX and are therefore neglected by most users.
When the number of tables and images is important, you can split the document into separate parts and “glue” them together with a master document (extension .odm). You then stumble on the problem of formatting consistency. The solution is to base all documents, including the master, on the same template (extension .ott) which defines all your styles. Refrain from adjusting styles in the subdocuments; always do it in the template to keep consistency. With the master+subs approach, styling is even more mandatory.
