It can be a random number between 64 and 10000, inclusive, the arbitrariness of it is the point: there is a bound; the (loop/size/whatever) is not unbounded.

But that's just from the 'security' perspective - if it is a low number then users are likely to hit it and complain, and for bug tracing I suspect everyone would want the number to be constant.
