New model Raspberry Pi B+ is can up to 40 miners? (4 port HUB x 10 = 40 usb)  or max up to 10 usb with 1 port hub?

The original one could handle more then 40. It should be able to handle roughly 120

The new Raspberry Pi B+ has an increased power spec for the USB ports, with a special setting as described in the link below up to 1,2A:

You nede to have a 2A power supply. This then is enough to run an Antminer U2 directly in the Raspberry Pi B+ USB port. I tried it and it works fine! Antminer U2 runs overclocked at 2GH/s on MinePeon OS with following configuration setting:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S antminer:all -o stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u
-p none --set-device antminer:clock=x0981
