A LCX can hold about 1400 cues (full scenes) of 250 channels each. 
Should be more then enough, but with backup and restore you can load 
another set of cuelists.

Yes, with a LCX you can use MIDI, Ethernet, USB, and DMX-in, all at 
the same time. MIDI triggers can be done with bank select + program 
changes (to Go to the beginning of a cuelist or Go next/prev), but 
you can also use controllers to Go to any step/cue. See the "LC+ 
reference v2.0a1.pdf" document inside manuals in the LCedit+ folder.
