Answer:

Generally speaking, each journal has different specifications for the word count of different article types. Review articles are usually longer than original research articles, but the word limit would depend on your target journal. Journals also specify the maximum number of tables and figures that you can use in an article. However, journals generally don't have a specific word count for each section of the paper, nor do they mention how many words or sentences you can devote for examples that you wish to cite.

It is up to you how you wish to present your article and how many examples you want to include. As long as you are not repeating the same data that you have used in tables and figures, you can use as many examples as you feel you would require to substantiate your argument.
