A good rule of thumb is to have no more than six radio buttons in a radio group. If there are going to be more than six, you might want to consider using a list item, which provides similar functionality. Radio groups are convenient because all of their choices are always visible. There is no need to display or click a radio group to view its choices like there is with a list item or a list of values. But this comes with a cost in that radio groups require a lot of real estate on the canvas. You must consider the space available on the form and the number of other items you wish to display before determining whether or not a radio group is appropriate.
