I think that can still happen when using a loaded map and random location.

And IIRC once you create a shpereworld, the star ceases to exist so then you can make a new one

No, SEIV tells "can not create a star in a system with either a star or artificial planet"

You can have up to 255 systems in a map. Go into Settings.txt in the Data folder and increase the Max Systems setting (near the top). Higher than 255 will cause an error in SE4, so don't make it higher than that.

Wich is the limit of stellar objects in a system?
In other words: Can I create a map with 9999999999999 sphereworlds in a system?

There is either a 255 per system limit, or an overall limit for the entire map (which is probably 256^2-1). Whatever it is, it is too large to be able to hit it practically.

Too much for ceating them in the editor.
