Depends on the router... The short answer is yes as long as your router supports it.
The only 'fix' is to try grouping them. For example:
Application 1:
1800 TCP
1801 UDP
Application 2:
2100, 2101
1 rule allowing start port 1800 end point 2101 etc
Or it might be possible to add more rules using telnet to login and manually enter more OR TRY DOWNLOADING THE ROUTER CONFIG. IF IT IS IN CLEAR TEXT MODE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK OUT HOW THEY ARE LAID OUT AND THEN ADD THEM AND UPLOAD CONFIG BACK INTO THE ROUTER.

Using DMZ is not very clever as it means your PC will be 'outside' the firewall and all service ports will be exposed...
I DO NOT recommend you do this... All fileshares will be open, etc etc... And I hate software firewalls - processor heavy imo
