See: http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/06/policy-updates-and-its-not-even.html

The other noteworthy update: now you can place up to three link units on a page. As we've noted in the past, link units are a great way to provide relevant, user-friendly ads in hard-to-fit locations on your site. With the new opportunity to place three link units -- and the plethora of link unit formats -- we hope you'll find great ways of incorporating this unique ad format on your site.

Please note that I am not advocating that webmasters start plastering link units all over their pages. But, we can't experiment with new placements unless the adsense module allows > 1 link unit per page.

Title: New AdSense publisher guidelines allows up to 3 link units per page - need matching ability in adsense module. » New Google AdSense policy allows up to 3 link units per page
Status: Active » Fixed

The option to limit the number of ads in the settings is now removed.

Instead, we check for a maximum of 3 ad units, and 3 link units, as per Google's policy.

Fixed in 5.x-1.5 and HEAD.

Excellent, thanks for the fast response.

Is this something that will be back-ported to the 4.7 branch, or shall I work up a patch based on the 5.x changes?

No. I don't plan to. Yes, you can submit a 4.7 patch.
