The api docs at https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php explicitly state the
highest value for 'continue' is 50:

  limit               - Maximal number of results
                        The value must be between 0 and 50
                        Default: 7
  continue            - Offset where to continue a search
                        The value must be between 0 and 50
                        Default: 0

which indeed suggests there is a hard limit of 100 entries. Maybe someone
in the Wikidata dev team can explain the reason behind this?
