Microsoft has limited the size of the rule folder in Outlook to 32kb which limits the number of rules to roughly 40-50 rules in Outlook. This limit cannot be increased.
Some workarounds can be done as mentioned in below MS article:
1 Rename your rules to a shorter name.
2 Delete any old rules. To delete a rule in Outlook
3 Combine similar rules to reduce the overall size of your rules. If it is possible, combine similar rules to reduce the overall size of your rules. After you have combined similar rules, delete the rules that you do not need any more.
4 Move your personal folders (.pst) file to a location that has the shortest path name. If you have rules that move e-mail messages to a .pst file, move your .pst file to a location that has the shortest path name as possible. For example, move your .pst file to a location such as C:\file_name.pst. (preferred location for pst is my documents)
