I'm not sure I understand your question. The number of documents has no bearing on the field length of each, which is what the max field length is all about. You can change the value here by calling Indexwriter.setMaxFieldLength to something shorter than the default.
So no, if no document exceeds the default (Terms, not characters), no document will be truncated. The 10,000 limit also has no bearing on how much space indexing a document takes as long as there are fewer then 10,000 terms. That is, a document with 5,000 terms will take up just as much space with any MaxfieldLength > 5,000.
