There is no limit for writing Test cases. While writing test cases you have to keep the business flow in mind. Say you wrote 100 Cases for R1, your friend may write 100+1 for the same R1. It all depends the way you write and the person who reviews it. if the person who is reviewing feels all the scenario are covered then that would be the End.-Sudha Krishna

There is no formula which decides the number of test cases to be written for a particular requirement.We will write the test cases in such a way that all the functionalities of the give requirements ie R1, R2 or R3 etc are checked properly.

There is no formula to discover the number of test case needs to be written.The very important thing is - you need to cover all the points given in the SRS or FRS, all kinds of scenarios needs to be covered for each SRS point.
