It'll whine with errors like
%PLATFORM-3-PACONFIG: Exceeds 3 high speed port adaptors

I've got a 7206 (non-VXR) NPE225 with 3 PA-2T3 and 3 PA-MCT3.  It's the
little router that could.  It also has a bunch of BGP peers and full
internet routes.  It works fine as long as you realize the router will
melt down before it fully utilizes all the interfaces.
