Bounce any number of cards by discarding that many cards from the hand.
Did that mean he could clear the entire Field in one go if he wanted?

Not only could it bounce any number of the opponent's cards, but the effect of the old version of Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, had not even been limited in the number of times it could be used.
In other words, if he gained additional cards in hand during the turn after using this effect, Brionac would effectively be resupplied with ammunition, allowing its effect to be activated again.
