Internally, bmc-config uses that number of users a motherboard supports to determine what configurations specified by the user are legal or illegal. In your case, the 10 user motherboard will issue an error on "User11" b/c it is illegal for that machine.
There isn't a flag to change this behavior at the moment. I have created an issue to investigate this as an option. Most users of bmc-config have per-motherboard configurations, so this use case isn't very common. One idea: the sections in the config file don't have to be in order. User11-User16 could be at the end of the file instead of earlier in the file. If you had a conf file with only user11-user16, this could be appended to the end of a "generic" conf file.
