This largely depends on the type of nitrous kit and jetting used. For a NX system, the calculation is .8lbs for every 100hp per 10sec. So if you are spraying 100hp you should be able to get 6-8 good 10 sec. runs out of a bottle.
If you have a 10 LB bottle you'll get 120 seconds of nitrous at 100 HP. If you run it at 75 HP, you'd get about 3 minutes.
It's usually suggested you don't run the nitrous for longer than 15 seconds (usually one run down the 1/4) as this can melt the solenoid magnets.
So 15 second bursts. 10 runs maybe?
Hope this helps!

I have had good luck with their kits in the past.
I am not certain if folks use wet or dry kits on these new 5.0's
I know on the old 5.0 (my era) we used dry kits as the fuel would puddle up in the intake manifolds. I am not certain if that is the case with these new 5.0's

The NOS dry kits are what we all ran in the early 2000's in our 4.6 & LS1 cars . Great systems and relatively easy to install. Back then the Zex kits had a lot of issues . I guess they're corrected now. If I ran nitrous again, I'd go back with NOS though. Nitrous isn't as common as it was. Everyone had nitrous in the early 2000's . It's not remotely as popular now.

That is an incorrect blanket statement. It is perfectly legal in South Carolina. As for other states, some are the same as South Carolina.
