It's not a MacOS limit.  Given time and memory, Finder will happily
construct Open events with several hundred or a few thousand files in them.
One often wishes Finder wouldn't do that, although triggering the effect
accidentally leads to opportunities for unexpected showers or other ways to
use up time.
