Hi @Wilson Nicolás Andrés Pérez Cubillos welcome to the Atlassian Community!

By default, there's a maximum of 3 hierarchy levels available:

  1. Epic
  2. Base/ standard issue types like Task, Story, ...
  3. Sub-task issue types

In an advanced plan there's a limit number?

With Advanced Roadmaps (Jira Software Premium Plan), you can create one or more additional levels above the Epic level.

Can I create a subtask from a subtask?,

No, you cannot create a sub-task under a sub-task. For adding multiple levels like initiatives, you will need a Jira Premium subscription. But you still will not be able to do sub-tasks under sub-tasks. 

About the base level, Can I split it in 5 or 6 levels o there's a maximum?
