As many as it takes for you to be confident with your knowledge.

as many as possible - maybe 3 out of those 4 each day - if you're on top of everything phy & chem won't take 3hrs.

But don't neglect English.

It's not a quantity thing...as many as you can do thoroughly and learn from mistakes.
+100. You don't get some sort of 'status' from being able to brag "Oh, I just did 50 papers. What now!"- its all about the end result. Tbh, spend more time on english- you seem to be like most people that do your subs and hate english so you ignore it- mistake incoming. Phys and chem papers are overrated imo- spend a lot time working on actual exam technique like not throwing away stupid marks- you don't necessarily need to do a full paper to develop this skill though. Whenever you do a paper though- mark it PROPERLY and look at sample answers and learn from those.

Personally, I might aim for one or two papers a day- you can't aim for like 5 everyday, that's unreasonable imo.

Good luck

T___T But it's SO much easier to do a maths paper than to write essays about Romanticism and the fall of society itself...

I did a LOT of Maths past papers.

Not because I wanted to improve in it, because I had already essentially peaked out, but because I did it to procrastinate doing past papers for other subjects.

Trust Carrot ^_^

I'm definitely a guilty culprit for procrastinating on past papers while not doing English ...
