No, you can have as many LVs in a VG as you like.

Snapshots & pvmove are not currently cluster aware. so if you need to snapshot
or move a logical volume it needs to be active on only one node.
If you are sharing data using a filesystem, then you must use a cluster-aware
filesystem if it is to be mounted on more than one node at a time. GFS or ocfs2
are just such filesystems.
