I did look up the laws for my state. They say the maximum number of foster children a provider can care for at one time is 5 children, which is fine with me. However, there are then all sorts of exceptions to this, such as sibling groups, family groups, etc. And in those cases, the maximum can then be 10 children in a home! This is a 4 bedroom house. The foster mother will have 1 bedroom, her adult (elderly) father will be in another room, and then there are 2 more bedrooms for foster children. I plan to call the state office to find out more information for myself.

It's good you are going to follow up with questions about your state's foster care program. What you found online was probably only policies and/or guidelines in a general nature. They would need the specifics of a given situation to give you a more correct answer as to how many people/children could live in your specific house.
