To answer a part of the original question.

is its one NVDS per Transpost zone

The answer is No. One NVDS can be associated with more than one transport zone by using the same switch name. This is how it's done for edge nodes and also regular transport nodes that have a single physical NIC or a single bond.

If a host (transport node) associated with more than one transport zone will there more than NVDS per host ?

Hello a host can have multiple NVDS. In my case I implemented a multisite architecture and each host had 2 N-VDS
