In principle? It could go to the nanoscale, so tens of atoms, before tunneling and Casimir effect influence would be too much to ignore. In practice? I think there'll be a plateau around tens of thousands of atoms due to the electrical charge becoming a growing concern and quantum effects surfacing their ugly heads. I'm very happy you liked it.
