Any more than four 90 degree bents (equaling up to 360 degrees) or a combination of other bends will make it quite difficult to pull the wires into that pipe. This is why the electrical code prohibits more than 360 degrees. If you have to put more bends than that, place a junction box on the line after the first 360 degrees. This way you pull to the junction box and then use that junction box so continue the rest of the way.
4 quarter bend
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
Bends and sets in conduit materials can be produced using several methods, including manual bending with hand tools like conduit benders, which apply leverage to create the desired angle. Mechanical benders and hydraulic benders are also commonly used for larger or thicker conduit, providing more consistent and precise bends. Additionally, heat bending involves applying heat to thermoplastic conduits to make them pliable before shaping. Lastly, pre-fabricated fittings can be used to create bends without the need for bending the conduit itself.
The 'Stub-up', or 90º bend, Back to Back Bends, Three Bend Saddles, and offset bends.
The electrical code states that there will be no more that four quarter bends between junction boxes. Keep in mind when conduit bending that an offset of two 45 degree bends is classed as a 90 degree bend. Offsets between two junction boxes uses up two of the four 90 degree bends allowed. If in a conduit run, the limit of 90 degree bends is utilized, always pull in stranded wire to make the pull go easier.

You are allowed 4 - 90 degree bends between openings. This is 360 degrees. Regardless of the sizes of bends, the 360 degrees is the limitation. In actual practice, you want to avoid bends as much as possible. I can tell you from experience that having more than 270 degrees, that's 3 - 90 degree bends, is ill advised unless absolutely necessary.
No.
Per national electrical code you are only allowed 360 degrees which is 4, 90 degree bends before having to use a pull box or termination.
The Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) specifies that a conduit run should not have more than two bends between pull points, such as junction boxes or fittings. This limit is established to ensure that wires can be pulled through the conduit without excessive difficulty or risk of damage. If more bends are necessary, additional pull points must be installed to facilitate the installation of the conductors. Always refer to the latest version of the PEC for detailed requirements.
4 quarter bend
The cornea
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
A pull box is a junction box that is placed in long conduit runs to make the pulling in of the wires easier. The code only allows 4 one quarter bends between pull boxes. If the conduit run incorporates more that 4 bends then a pull box has to be inserted into the run. The code allows up to the "equivalent" of four quarter bends or 360 degrees total before pull box is required.
PVC bends, copper bends, and steel bends are commonly manufactured bends that can be purchased at wholesalers. These bends are used in plumbing and HVAC systems for directing the flow of fluids in pipes and tubing.
