Is there an upward limit to the size of spacecraft with "Centrifugal" gravity?

I'm in the middle of creating a RPG one-shot for some friends, and I'm thinking of doing an Aliens meets Space Hulk style "Big-Gribbly Aliens VS Humans" game.

Is there an upper limit to the size of a craft with centrifugal style gravity? I've only ever seen them in fiction presented with single floor pods or rings around a central hub. You can obviously get more floorspace by creating a cylinder around the central spire, but could you go out and create more floors?

(tagged with "Science-Based" as I'm not sure how "hard" the centrifugal gravity concept is)
