No.
The MaxClients variable actually sets the maximum number of httpd child
processes that will be forked by apache.
Each of them can handle multiple clients.
Blame Apache for the counter intuitive variable naming unfortunately.

Possibly nothing.
Unless the MaxClients is actually reached it won't make any difference.
Grep through your portal logs for that day and see if there are any mentions of
MaxClients.
If it is actually reached, then it might help, but you will be using more RAM.
It's unlikely to make much of a difference for the parking portal.
