read my reply in the other thread abotu schedules.

in terms of tables, no one can tell you how many to play. it's all about your comfort and what you're looking to accomplish. what i mean is that as you add tables, your ability to focus in each individual tournament will go down. this doesn't matter as much at smaller stakes where structures aren't as good and your decisions in general will be simpler, and many small-midstakes regs are mass multi-tablers.

i rarely play more than 15, usually between 4-10. HTP will play near 30. he's also a savant and better than me. just be honest with yourself and play as many as you think you can play your best in. and if you want it to be more, just add tables slowly. like if you can comfortably play 4 but want to 20 table, start by 5 tabling, then 6, 7, etc. just work your way up.
