Is there an upward limit to the size of spacecraft with "Centrifugal" antigravitygravity?

I'm in the middle of creating a RPG one-shot for some friends, and I'm thinking of doing an Aliens meets Space Hulk style "Big-Gribbly Aliens VS Humans" game.

Is there an upper limit to the size of a craft with centrifugal style antigravitygravity? I've only ever seen them in fiction presented with single floor pods or rings around a central hub. You can obviously get more floorspace by creating a cylinder around the central spire, but could you go out and create more floors?

If so, would this alter the relative gravity per floor, and by how much?

(tagged with "Science-Based" as I'm not sure how "hard" the centrifugal antigravitygravity concept is)
