Four.
The individual US Supreme Court justices determine which law clerks to hire; they don't accept assignments. Each justice typically hires four clerks a year ahead of the Term the clerk will work. Hiring is now complete for the 2010-2011 Term.
This year, Justice John Paul Stevens chose to hire only one law clerk for the 2010-2011 Term (a year from now), which suggests he is planning to retire at the end of the 2009-2010 Term. Retired justices are entitled to have one law clerk in their employ.

Supreme Court justices are entitled to employ four law clerks each term. (The chief justice can hire a fifth law clerk, but only once—John Roberts in 2005—has a chief done so.)
