Is this limit for LVM in Linux in General?

Using redhat 7.1 and 7.2, I've created as many as 37 partitions on a
single drive. I think the theoretical limit is 64. I install mainframe
OS's (z/OS z/VM VSE) in Linux using Flexes emulation. To achieve the
best I/O performance on the emulated DASD I need many raw(no linux file
system) partitions(up to 30 on a 80GB drive) to match the size of a real
Mainframe Dasd devices.
I'm very interested in LVM if it can be used to dynamically handle a
large number of partitions. I've not found any practical guideline on
implementation only white papers and the such. Any body got experience
or references?
