Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I mailed Ray Strode, its easy enough to add
in the init.d livesys script add
--number-of-tries=x
and
-Tx
To the line
plymouth ask-for-password --command="cryptsetup luksOpen $homedev EncHome"

Will a livecd use /etc/crypttab if the file exists?

Yes

Creating a 8gb liveusb with --home-size-mb 2048 --overlay-size-mb 2048,
works fine. However I would like
to increase the number of passwords attempts allowed.
I seem to be having no luck increasing the default password retry from 3
on the encrypted home directory.
Formating using -T x or adding retry=x seem to leave the default at 3.

The default with an encrypted /home is that we use plymouth to prompt
which is also the behavior now in the real system.  And I don't think
that plymouth has any way to request retrying more than 3 times
