No.  For each VPN connection (keep in mind OpenVPN is a
single-point-to-single-point vpn) you need a TCP or UDP port, you need a
tap/tun interface, you need an openvpn configuration file, you need a
key/certificate setup, and you need an openvpn process.

I would guess 50 clients would require adding more tun/tap interfaces to
the kernel (IIRC the hardcoded limit wasn't that high?)... but as low
horsepower as OpenVPN is, you should probably be able to get along okay.
