The limitation can come from your system  : max argument to commands or 
from "avg" sympa.conf parameter wich is the maximum number of defferent 
domain per sendmail call

We doub that this can be usefull because thoses parameters are needed 
only to tune the SMTP processus handled by sendmail, postfix or qmail . 
However, if you are sure that it is needed, it's easy to do, just clone 
the way that list and robot parameters are managed. The code is 
deseigned to make any parameter depending on list/robot/site config file.
