No. of Sensors that can be connected to a Flora
Would I be able to connect and read 5 flex sensors and the 9 DOF accelerometer to the Flora controller?

Almost. The Flora only has 4 analog inputs, so you'd be limited to 4 flex sensors

You can add up to 16 more analog inputs by using up to 4 ADS1115 (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1085) or ADS1015 (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1083) i2c analog boards. However, by the time you add the ADS boards, it is perhaps better to rethink your microprocessor, and go with something that has more analog boards (and can be mounted on a perma-proto board). Note, you would need to use D2/D3 for connection to the i2c boards on the Flora.
Perhaps instead, go with a Atmega32u4 breakout board (https://www.adafruit.com/products/296), Teensy 2 (https://www.adafruit.com/products/199), or maybe Teensy 3 (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1625), a DC boarduino (https://www.adafruit.com/products/72), or the Adafruit Menta (https://www.adafruit.com/products/795).
