Somewhere someone told me that any bend is considered a "quarter bend" are are therefore limited to four bends, regardless of degree. I consider that hogwash.
I use 30º offsets and figure 60º total for each offset. I never bend offsets at 45º unless it can't be avoided.
As far as bending in excess of 90º, I have seen circumstances that needed S-bends, but they are rare.
