Yes, "by the rules", though personally I'd suggest the application of large doses of common sense, if this starts to a) be tedious, or b) give narratively uninteresting or ridiculous results. For example, if a starting character (mutatis mutandis, a Heroquester) is repeatedly augmented to be at ability levels typical of a tribal champion (m.m., major god), then are the magical effects that achieve this being described appropriately for this game world effect? (And indeed, in a given situation, are they even "describable" as such?)

No, and note the Q&A is explicit on that point:
"If the four augment him again on the next turn (using _different abilities_) [...]".
My emphasis.
And at least in HW:RiG, multiple augments can _only_ be done with magical abilities. (i.e., you can be augmented by any number of different magical augmentation, once each; and one non-magical, once total.)
So it's strictly bounded by the number of different appropriate abilities, in the "worst case". (Though that could still be a lot, given that feats in theistic affinities are somewhat inexpensively open-ended.)
Cheers,
Alex.
