A quick check of CELEX returns 3778 verbs with separable prefixes.
If I combine the CELEX data with our own semantically oriented
lexicon HaGenLex, I end up with 4009 verbs with separable prefixes.

But keep in mind that
- both resources have only limited coverage;
- CELEX contains some errors w.r.t. separable prefixes;
- most importantly, the process of combining verbs and
  separable prefixes is very productive (at least for some prefixes);
  so, there is no exhaustive list. :-(

Greetings
Sven
