The station max is just an arbitrary number or is 256 really
the max it can handle? At least on ath9k, more are supported,
but I haven't tested ath5k lately....
Thanks,

It is an arbitrary number.

I think the actual max for a channel (AP?) is somewhere around 2000, so maybe
make it 2048 just to make sure we are not adding artificial limitations?
Same with ath9k.
