Is there a limit to how long of a trip you can drop using your one annual personal drop option. What about if you are on reserve? Can you drop a string of multiple reserve days?

If its more than 1 trip, you can only drop a total of 4 days.
You can drop four consecutive reserve days max.
Section 23.I.8.c

Your anniversary is on Marth 15th and on March 4th you request to have a rotation dropped which starts on Marth 19th. Are you able to use your current personal drop or will it charge you next years personal drop?

Rog. Thanks. I assume you lose the drop if you don't use it and it resets each year on your anniversary? Lets assume this scenario,

*Authorized* Personal drop (APD) is once per year, allows you to drop one rotation or up to 4 reserve days. Resets on your anniversary date or month, can't remember which.

You're confusing two things. You can personal drop (PD) your entire schedule every month, if PCS allows you. To do so, there needs to be enough reserve converge though.

NICE! Read below..
"Right now, there's a company that dominates its industry, has tremendous earnings power when industry trends are favorable and is still in the midst of a far-reaching transformation that will unlock more profits when it's complete. I'm talking about Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL). Shares touched an 18-month low on Wednesday. The carrier is being hit will all kinds of challenges, but these challenges are surmountable. And when they pass, shares could double from here. Doing so would simply bring the stock back to its 52-week high hit last November.
The best horse in the race
Just last week, I took a deep look at rival AMR (NYSE: AMR), parent of American Airlines, and found the company to be in such trouble that bankruptcy is a real possibility in coming years. In so many respects, Delta is strong where AMR is weak. This means Delta should survive in a lousy economy and thrive in a rising economy."

So in your scenario, if March is your hire date and you want to drop a trip in March, that's it for the year. Until the next March 1.
We're talking APDs here. iaflyer is correct- you can use as many personal drops as you want as long as there's reserve coverage.

From SD's latest memo, no hiring this year, and possibly not Spring:
Over 160 pilots and 2,000 total employees elected to participate. The pilot exits will begin when we start to pull down flying in September, and we expect them to be completed by the end of the year. Many of the retirements were from the 330 and 747 fleets, and we are moving forward with our plan to modify our 330-200 crew rest facilities and fly those aircraft on flights greater than 12 hours. This of course means we need more Captains in the 330 fleet. The early retirements coupled with the need for more 330 Captains means we have some significant training coming up in the next nine months. Right now, we are staffed properly for the rest of the year and the flying we expect to see at the beginning of next year.
Although I could see an AE in September to fill the 330 slots.
