This answer is based on the last time I looked (it may be different for current versions of JES2 that I don't have)
The number of internal readers is set in JES2 by the RDINUM parameter on the INTRDR statement. That's the limit. I don't see documentation allowing RDINUM to be set by the $SET INTRDR command. As with any other SYSOUT file, the resources are in use from ALLOCATE until FREE, although I think you can use FREE=CLOSE to make sure it's freed when closed.
