I think you will find that the macro you started with will deal with
multiple data series. The problem could be that there are too many data
points in each series. The series formula will end up with arrays of
values and of labels in it. Something like
=SERIES("First",{"Cat 1","Cat 2","Cat 3"},{2.34567,3.45678,4.56789},1)
If you have a significant number of data points (e.g. 50) the formula
becomes too large.
A better approach, assuming you want to end up with a "dead" chart is to
take a picture of it with Shift+Edit / Copy Picture; Edit / Paste.

Is there any limit for the number of series & the number of data
points in each series with which a link can be deleted?

Yes and no. Or, rather, no and yes.
There is no limit to the number of series as far as in know.
The limit on the number of data points is not fixed, because it depends
on the length of the text of the arrays of labels and values. Formulas
are limited to 1024 characters. I created a chart using labels X1, X2
etc. and values =RAND(); I could convert to arrays of values with up to
42 points.
Changing the value formula =INT(RAND()*100), I could convert a series
with 100 points to arrays of values.
