For practicality's sake it pretty much can't be counted since the entire cardiovascular system is one closed continuum, with some major arteries changing names when they reach certain anatomical areas.
And no you're not likely to be able to cut all major muscular arteries before the person dies unless you cut the aortic root last, and even then a person is likely to lose 40%-60% of his blood volume which is the usual range for a person to die of exsanguination.
