up to 255 of them; what you have to do is:
1. Reserve the top 4 pages of memory.
2. Load the teleporter extension.
3. Set up your first 45 teleporters manually.
4. Poke the other ones into memory by hand.
It isn't possible to reduce the number of rooms and give the memory to
sprites, because the rooms live in banked memory and the sprites don't.
