Based on the comments, I think what you mean by the global Waldspurger packet of $\pi$ is the Vogan packet, i.e., the set of all cuspidal representations $\pi_D$ of a quaternion algebra $D/F$ such that $\pi_D$ corresponds to $\pi$ in the sense of Jacquet-Langlands. This is indeed finite as you say in your comment. However this finiteness is unrelated to the question of how many twists of $\pi$ will have nonvanishing central $L$-value. Let $\chi_E$ be the quadratic character associated to a quadratic extension $E/F$. Waldspurger relates $L(1/2, \pi)L(1/2, \pi \otimes \chi_E)$ to a period $P_E$ of some $\pi_D$ in the Vogan packet. As $E$ varies, the period changes, as does the "right" choice for the $D$ on which to choose the $\pi_D$. In particular, infinitely many periods (and thus $L$-values) may vanish and infinitely may be nonzero on the same $\pi_D$. So there is no contradiction between finiteness of the Vogan packet and the nonvanishing of infinitely many twists.
