You can store as many images as your CD will hold. Each image is simply a 
file. CDs should be able to hold 600-700 MB of files (nominally 650MB, but 
capacity varies depending on what kind of blanks you buy).

Archiving the original and final is similar to what I do. I save the 
original, "raw", scan as well as the finished product. I store raw images 
on one set of CDs and finished images on another set. Images are saved as 
TIFF files. I also produce CDs of moderately compressed JPEGs to send to 
the copyright office for registration.
