Looking at the config, it uses ten. This is pretty standard, since most 
people bind workspaces to keys 0-9. Changing it is easy, though. For 
example, if you only want three, make an xmonad.hs that looks like this:

import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Bluetile

main = xmonad bluetileConfig
     { workspaces = ["1", "2", "3"]
     }

Of course you don't have to use the same unimaginative names I did.

Dunno about bluetile for sure, but for xmonad, see this SO question:
