Switches are like routers on the Internet (except that PCIe switches guarantee the delivery of their packets). The limitation on the number of devices directly behind a switch is merely the number of devices that are addressable on a bus.
And if all you need is a single device on the bus, there is no need for a switch between your Root Complex and endpoint.
