A quick check shows that:
Werner pushed it from 15 to 32 seven years ago
It is used to statically size two arrays
So the only reason to keep it small is to avoid wasting memory.
It looks like those arrays end up holding pointers, though, so the extra
memory use should be tiny.
Pushing it to 64 to accommodate larger fonts should not be problematic.
