How many parameters can the OrderSend allow?
No, you cannot.
Every function has a specific number of parametres wich has no meaning to be changed.
If you call a function with a number of params different from what the function assumes to receive, you get only this error at compil time: Invalid parameters count in function call.It has meaning for me, that's my question..Could this be changed?

If you ask Slawa, he will say "No"
Michel probably meant "which is not meant to be changed".
This is true of built-in functions (such as OrderSend()) as well as of custom functions.
If you define:
My_function(string name, int age)
{
Print("Hello. My name is ",name,", I am ",age," years old. How interesting.");
}
and you make the function call My_function("Jesus", 2000, Jerusalem), it will not work.
Same thing with OrderModify or any other function.
Of course you can modify custom functions. But you can't modify built-in functions.

That should be easy enough. 
Initial order with...
int OrderSend1( string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment=NULL, int magic=0, datetime expiration=0, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE, bool control=False)
when function executes...
bool OrderModify1( int ticket, double price, double stoploss, double takeprofit, datetime expiration, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE, bool control=True)

For MT4 to recognize a command and initiate something it needs to understand the command send to it if you do create above function as ORDERSEND1(..... with your own parameters ) it will work for you but MT4 will not understand it and it will not open any order for you simply because there is no OrderSend() function which takes extra parameter what you can do is like
create a function as
say---
void ControlOrders( bool control )
{
// Here you can check your control variable if every thing is right then
normal OrderSend() function.
}
maybe this is what you are looking for

is there any reason I can't make it this...could it be made possible to do this?

Could I then call that parameter with OrderCustom() ?
and modifiy with adding the same parameter to the
OrderModify() ?
