The value of the MaxCertificates element is limited to a range of 0–9999. This limit ensures that no individual recipient receives an incomplete set of certificates. If the MaxCertificates limit is reached while enumerating certificates for an address list, that address list will not get back any certificates and a Status element (section 2.2.3.177.12) value of 8 is returned. The client can then use the certificate count returned to determine the number of certificates that are available for that recipient node.
