Cpanel provide you a option to set/ change the MX records for the one domain or sub-domain. You can check the option from cPanel >> Mail >> MX Entry >> Select the domain >> tick desired email routing option and set the priority and add the mx record.

Please allow some time to propagate the MX records properly.

You can also change the A records or the subdomain to host it on another server. A records is for the entire subdomain, whereas, MX records are for the mailserver.

How many subdomains can be possibly used for one hosting account?

You can create unlimited sub-domains with one web hosting account. However, the web space allocated to your account is the only limitations for you.
