It was 16 ;-)
At the time, IBM was shipping 2-way[1] MP systems. I don't know
whether the limit was still 16 by the time MVS/XA came out. I'd be
willing to be that both 64 and whatever number replaces it will be
lifted internally well before hardware ships requiring larger numbers.
[1] Well, the standard models at least; I'm not counting, e.g.,
9020, 360/67.
