Why?
It makes it harder for people to start hundreds of relays.
Is there any place where I can find this kind of info?
Yes, it's documented in the tor manual page. And search the list archives for explanations.
Maybe it's another issue, but I have recently tried to run a second relay behind the same IPv4 address than my first relay, and the connection quality strongly diminished. I suppose my ISP equipment was not able to handle the two relays on NAT, but I would need to investigate further.
This is typically many consumer NAT boxes. Every active tor relay has ~6000 open connections to other relays. Exits have even more. Many systems just don't have this capacity.
