For example here is a simple run without changing many parameters:

blat -maxIntron=3000 -noHead database consensus.fa output.psl

my database is a path to .nib files for each chromosome that was originally 
from the hg18 chromFa file:
home/chr10.nib
home/chr11.nib
home/chr12.nib
home/chr13.nib
home/chr14.nib
home/chr15.nib
home/chr16.nib
home/chr17.nib
home/chr18.nib
home/chr19.nib
home/chr1.nib
home/chr20.nib
home/chr21.nib
home/chr22.nib
home/chr2.nib
home/chr3.nib
home/chr4.nib
home/chr5.nib
home/chr6.nib
home/chr7.nib
home/chr8.nib
home/chr9.nib
home/chrX.nib
home/chrY.nib

The output gives the following number of sequence results for each chromosome:

chr1 count =    32
chr2 count =    32
chr3 count =    32
chr4 count =    32
chr5 count =    32
chr6 count =    32
chr7 count =    32
chr8 count =    32
chr9 count =    32
chr10 count = 32
chr11 count = 32
chr12 count = 32
chr13 count = 32
chr14 count = 32
chr15 count = 32
chr16 count = 32
chr17 count = 32
chr18 count = 32
chr19 count = 32
chr20 count = 32
chr21 count = 32
chr22 count = 32
chrX count =    32
chrY count =    17

I have tried using the original .fa files in my database path rather than the 
.nib files and I get the same results.  I've also run each chromosome 
separately and also get the same results.  I have also already tried setting 
minScore=0 with no real change in results.  I still have no idea why blat 
limits my results to 32 per database (chromosome).
