The show ends after 52 episodes, but there are three OVA series that follow events directly, one of which was two episodes (I think), the second of which was 6 more episodes, and the third block was a couple more. I've seen the first and second OVA series, but lost interest and never watched the third. You can conceivably stop where the series ends, because the OVAs are just more of the same melodrama with lesser plotlines, without the punch and drama that the final episodes of the show achieves. (It *does* end pretty great, if memory serves.)
I would say that if you finish the show and *really* want more, watch the OVAs. The second and longest set, which was I think six episodes, I did like somewhat (and it actually caused me to jump to a new favorite ship which was a weird experience so late in a series). But if you think you're done when the tv series ends and want to move onto something else, don't lose sleep over the OVAs.
