You can pay for as many as you want:
https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...f-lounges.html
But that said, if the lounge is insanely busy I can see an agent saying no.
Your domestic partner, up to 5 dependent children*, as well as one guest are invited to join you at no charge.
Fees for each additional guest who wishes to join you are as follows:- Frankfurt lounge: €29.75 (EUR)*
- Paris lounge: €30 (EUR)*
- London Heathrow Departures lounge: £25 (GBP)*
- All other Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges:
- Before 11 am: $20.00 - $24.00 CAD/USD**
- After 11 am: $30.00 - $36.00 CAD/USD**
Kindly present a valid same-day ticket or boarding pass, for an eligible flight (as indicated above) for you and your guests. You may also be asked to present your Altitude membership card.
* A dependent child is under the age of 25, part of the family unit and still financially dependent on the Air Canada Altitude Super Elite 100K/ Elite 75K/ Elite 50K member). Air Canada reserve the right to, at any time, request proof of age for dependent children.
** Fee is inclusive of the minimum (0%) to maximum (20%) tax which may apply, based on your itinerary.

One option to consider: did you receive lounge passes as part of your E50K package this year? If so, you could use your guesting privileges plus those to get everyone in to the domestic MLL (they're not valid for the international MLL). Just clear security at the D pier, visit the domestic lounge, and leave a few extra minutes to do the walk over to international before boarding.
I could be wrong, but I thought people have varied experiences of getting through domestic security with international BPs? I certainly didn't push it when I went to the wrong one by mistake once, but the agent didn't look in a mood to discuss it.
