There is no such restriction:
qemu-system-sparc -M SS-10 -m 512
...
Probing Memory Bank #0 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #1 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #2 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #3 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #4 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #5 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #6 64 Megabytes of DRAM
Probing Memory Bank #7 64 Megabytes of DRAM
...
But there is a limitation per certain machine type. SparcStation 10
can support only 512 M. It rarely makes sense to try to put more in
it: a standard software (Firmware, OS) wouldn't know where to search
for more RAM.
