There's no set number for that, it's all down to how you break them, how overall healthy you are, and what care you can get.

People have died from breaking ONE, if that single one punctured a lung, or the skin.

Likewise people have survived from having most of the ribs on one side removed as part of surgical treatment of Tuberculosis.
