The limit law is something congress enacted. The Constitution has a much higher limit based on population. Granted I don't think the house could function with over 10K members but then again it would make gerrymandering impossible.

It's not as though it functions well now. At least with that many members it would not-function in ways that more frequently benefited areas where people actually live.
