No more then 2. But as was stated above it depends on the job your looking to land. Customizing the resume for the position you want is a good idea. You can create 2 or 3 versions if you want so they are prepackaged. I would create at least 1 that is a single page. and other versions that are no longer then 2. A good process would be to create the 1 page resume and then add the things you think will get you the interview. Its easier to add and keep the content focused then to create a big long thing and try to surgically cut stuff.
Cover letters are crap. No one reads them anymore.
What Vllad said is true but it doesnt matter. Resumes are about opening the door for an interview. Its the interview that will land you the job. So keep this in mind. All you want to do is generate interest. Dont ever out right lie though.
