The Laws of the Game do not limit the number of steps a player can take during a throw-in. It could be from none to ten. Or more. The referee is only obliged to see that the player "faces the field of play, has a part of each foot either on the touch line or on the ground outside the touch line, uses both hands, [and] delivers the ball from behind and over his head." The other concern of the referee in this instance is whether or not, in his opinion as the official in charge of the match, the player taking all the steps is wasting time. If time is "wasted" by this action, the referee can caution the player, give the player a verbal warning, or can add time to the duration of the match. A combination of these is possible. As an aside, about the only players taking a big run at the touch line to deliver a ball back into play are the very few players who execute a "flip toss" to get more distance on a ball that is being thrown in.

What is the goalie crease and how big is it in lacrosse?

The goalie crease is the circle around the goal that I believe has a diameter of 9 feet for men and 8.5 feet for women. In men's lacrosse a goalie and the defenders of that same team can go in the crease and in women's only the goalie is allowed inside the crease. In women's if a defender steps into the crease then the game is stopped and a girl from the other team is given an 8 meter arch penalty shot, if someone on the offense of the other team steps into the goal the ball is given to the goalie and everyone must be a certain distance away to allow the goalie to clear the ball. Also with women's if an offensive player that is shooting the ball steps into the crease then the goal is not counted and the ball is given to the goalie.
