By illegitimate, I presume you refer to a no-ball or a wide. Under current rules an over contains 6 balls. Some years back, 8-ball overs were used in Australia if nowhere else. For an over to be complete, 6-balls not including a wide or no-ball must be bowled. If an illegitimate ball is bowled, it must be rebowled. The most illegitimate balls bowled in one over was an over bowled by Curtly Ambrose in his final test on Australian soil which contained 9 no-balls - a total of 15 balls.
6 balls constitutes an "over". The length of a game in limited overs cricket is dependent on how many overs are being played - 20, 50 etc. Unlimited is dependent on time.
If there are no extras, then only 30 balls will be bowled. If there are extras, more balls will be bowled depending on the number of extras.
Well there are 6 balls in a over in cricket, and each ODI (One Day International) consists of 50 overs a team. While Twenty20 obviously has 20 overs.
