There may be up to three or four different types (different sizes and ranges) of Clarinet in a standard orchestra, depending on the particular music to be played. However, they would not be referred to as 'Clarinet families'. The family to which clarinets belong is the 'woodwind family', which in a standard symphony orchestra also comprises flutes/piccolos, oboes, and bassoons. There are well over a dozen different types of clarinet, many of them very specialised, but you would not expect to find more than a few types occurring together in a standard orchestra.

How many clarinets are in a band?
There are usually one 1st clarinet and one 2nd clarinet. But sometimes the orchestras are larger so they double it to then have 4 people playing.

What kind of clarinets are in the orchestra?
Always: Bb soprano clarinets and Bass clarinets, sometimes: Soprano A and Eb clarinets, very rarely: other varieties of clarinet (piccolo clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet, contra alto/contrabass, alto clarinet, etc.)Bb soprano clarinets (the common clarinet) and bass clarinets are always used in orchestras and bands. Orchestra music (bands not as commonly, but still sometimes) frequently call for soprano A and soprano Eb clarinets, so usually Bb players learn an alternate clarinet and play it when they're not playing the normal Bb part. Other kinds of clarinets, such as basset clarinet, tenor clarinet, and basset horn, are rarely used (not never used, just not nearly as commonly.) Alto clarinets are used much more frequently in bands than in orchestras.
