There is currently a 2 pronoun limit. I have talked with a some people over the months who have wished to have more than that.

As far as I am concerned, simply removing the line and going back to just an 80 char limit (which depending on the length of the pronoun sets limits you to a max of about 10/11) is good (and I would happily work on the ui to add more dropdowns if needed). But if that doesn't work lets figure out what else we can do.

Instead of the two drop downs what if it was the same multi selection box like from the language selection? Then on interaction, it concats each selection into the display name field. That's all that's happening with the two drop downs currently. Then you can have one list that you shift select in order to select multiple pronouns.
