So, if we supposedly reincarnate, there should be a stable number of people/spirits alive because people living now are reincarnations of other ones. If so, how many of people/spirits are there?
A human could not fathom such things
Theres only one soul
Were just sharing it
have you noticed fewer animals and more people.

144,000, according to at least one account.
Divide or multiply infinity any way and you'll still get infinity. That's why we're not running out of souls

Perhaps we can reincarnate into other planets/universes

There are infinite living souls. At any given moment, a rough ratio of one soul conditioned to material existence for every three souls purely existing in spiritual transcendence. This is always in a bit of a flux, as souls either become attached to the material and become conditioned, or lose their conditioning and return to pure existence.
This is discussed in the Chaitanya-Charitamrita, Madhya Lila, Ch. 21 with references to the Brahma-Samhita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
> CC Madhya 21.55 — “The spiritual world is considered to be three fourths of the energy and opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whereas this material world is only one fourth of that energy. That is our understanding.
