According to the source code:

<!-- language-all: lang-cpp -->

    const static unsigned int max_frame_payload_size = MAX_FRAME_SIZE-sizeof(RF24NetworkHeader);

that would be `24 bytes`. Maximum lenght of payload for NRF24L01+ is 32 bytes and the `RF24NetworkHeader` seem to be 8 bytes long. So you can send up to 24 bytes in one package.
