Answer
In an "official" tarot deck, meaning one that has existed for the last 100-150 years, they have always have 22 cards in the major arcana and 56 minor arcana. Likewise, the Gardner deck has always had 22 trumps.
That being said, there have been a wide variety of tarot decks over the course of its evolution, and modern "oracle" decks which do not neccessarily have the same structure and so could easily have more, or fewer, cards.
