Is there any limitation on the number of partitions I can have in a service bus queue?

Is it something different or can we have only 16 partitions as mentioned on the Azure portal?

Similar question but doesn't completely answer the question since no documentation for this is available: Are there any limitation on the number of partitions in a Azure Service Bus Queue or Topics?

See documentation page on enabling partitioning:

In a Standard tier namespace, you can create Service Bus queues and topics in 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5-GB sizes (the default is 1 GB). With partitioning enabled, Service Bus creates 16 copies (16 partitions) of the entity, each of the same size specified. As such, if you create a queue that's 5 GB in size, with 16 partitions the maximum queue size becomes (5 * 16) = 80 GB.

Partitioning option is just a checkbox (in the Portal) or command-line option (--enable-partitioning true). As stated in the docs above, the number of partitions is always 16.
