Cairo internally uses 24.8 fixed arithmetic, so its hard limit should be
8388608. But cairo is coming from (and IIRC it was initially part of)
X11, where the protocol has 16.16 fixed arithmetic, and it is very
likely some old code has been built on that assumption. So to be on the
safe side I would never exceed 32768.

For more details you can check this (admittely old) thread:
