Ok, that is a solution.
Since I am somewhat new to PHP all this numbers to strings stuff is a
bit disquietingly for me :).

You can also just do:
$dateTime->add("718231 seconds");

I forgot: At least max int would be nice as limit because then
everywhere you get a duration as int you don't have to care about the
limit of the DateInterval constructor.

Just an example when whis is awkward:
I get an offest from a time zone an have to add it to a DateTime. The
offset was taken from the time zone via getOffset(). Lets assume the
offset is positive (easy test if not).
$d->add(new DateInterval('PT' . $offset . 'S')));
will fail once the offset is over 9999 seconds.
While it is not really necessary to have the limit removed, it is just
awkward for a user that he always has to care about this limit when
handling durations he gets from sources he can not control. There will
always be a limit you have to take care of but a limit of 9999 seconds
is reached very fast, if you get durations in seconds.

I don't think the limit is really needed - but then again, I also don't
think it matters much that you can't have periods of > 1000seconds.

If you decide to keep the limit you should move that to documentation I
think :).
