That's kind of like asking if spacetime is quantized or not. We have bits of evidence in both directions. For example, the entropy of a 2D (conventional) Event Horizon, is identical to the number of planc-length (square) units of area on the EH sphere, and so that's a definitely quantity/number, for any given Black Hole mass. You could interpret that as saying the EH is broken up into "pixels" sort of, which a kind of quantized view of spacetime if our universe is indeed a big Event Horizon.
