A panther chameleon may lay 4 to 6 clutches a year in captivity.
The size of the clutch depends partly on the temperature the
female is kept at, the amount of food she is fed and to some
extent, her age. A good clutch size IMHO is about 20. At this
rate, its more likely that the female will live longer than one
that produces larger clutches.

They can lay up to 4-6 clutches per year but 2-3 is more typical and preferable. It is ideal to allow the female to reach mature size before breeding due to physical and nutritional demands. The most my female has laid in one clutch is 33 eggs...but her next clutch 6 months later was 11. Her average is around 22-25 which I prefer her to have.
