You should set the limit to whatever yields the highest ELO in YOUR program.

The fun thing about computer go is how hard it is to make hard and fast
rules:

Outlawing self-atari of 18+ stones is probably okay, but not quite so
useful :-).

Shows where not defending 20 stones in atari is best. This
position is easily modified to give a position where self
atari is best. Clearly this, as well as the 18-stone
nakade, is pathological and will _never_ occur in a real
game ... :-)
I would guess that there will be a fair number of self-atari
of up to 11 stones (especially on the edge, or in the corner,
and where there are cutting points) where the self-atari
would be the best move.
