Are the devices using the USB for power or just data? If all of the devices are just using it for signal (not charging your phone or running any cute but useless fans or coffee cup warmers), you're fine. If you're trying to use a lot of powered items on an unpowered hub, it probably won't work, but if it DOES work, it won't hurt anything. If you are using a powered hub (one that you have to plug in to the wall as well as to the computer) then you are fine to connect as many things as you want.
