The only place that MAXSTUDIOSEQUENCES limit is used is in the studiomdl code ($Src/utils/studiomdl), which can be changed if that's the tool you use to compile models. There is no limit on the number of sequences the engine itself is capable of using. DoD 2.0, which will be released soon, has player models with more than 255 sequences.
