DX supports up to 8 lights per model not per world. So indeed you
theoretically could use more than 8 dynamic lights just through
splitting up level-models into pieces.

But you can also do lighting with static lightmaps as a workaround
to not have such flat environments. The latter would be faster
anyway than dynamic lighting.
