 The streaming API allows you to follow user IDs and track keywords but not
 lists directly. Instead you need to follow all the user IDs of the list and
 then assemble their Tweets on your server to recreate the list.

The limit for a list is 500 members, but we can only follow 400 user
ids
by default with the streaming API. Is there any way around this?

You could create two connections, but this is not allowed. So, no.
Although it depends on the type of application - if it is a server-based
application, you can request a raise of these limits.
