I opened two text files of 105Kb in size.
But I could not open a third file.
Is that the most that Geany can open?
Thanks.

There is no hard limit, its totally resource limited.
You don't say what Geany version, what platform, how much free memory your machine has so can't help you more.

Geany 1.38
I used split on syslog.
It broke it up into 13 files. I got the first 2 opened by Geany.
After that, it refused to open any others.
I am running Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

What do you mean "refused to open"? Did it crash, did it do nothing, what happened? Any messages in `Help->Debug Messages`?
We can't look over your shoulder, you have to tell us everything.

If Geany encounters a character encoding error, such as an invalid byte combo in a given file it won't load it. From that interface it looks like nothing happened. Maybe the window blinks slightly. The thinking is to avoid opening binary files I believe.
Sounds like what might be happening here.
Sort of annoying now that you mention it, but been that way so long I got used to it.

If a file is not a supported encoding or contains a NUL it won't open, but you get a message in the status tab and status bar, and likely lots of trying/failing messages in the `Help->Debug messages` for encodings Geany tried. SO it should be pretty obvious if that happened.
Binaries often contain NULs (0 value bytes) which is why they won't open, its not anti-binary per say.
