Joshua Landau added the comment:

According to the standard, int can be only 16 bits long so that only leaves 
255/255. However, if the offset is on top of the dictionary count, this is 
easily enough to clear the limits for the maximum function size (worst case is 
a merge of 255 dicts with an offset of 1 or a merge of 2 dicts with an offset 
of 254).
