Resources on an MP3 player are not even remotely close to infinite. Making the change as you have done has robbed your player of memory elsewhere. While you may find that acceptable - others would not. This is why we arbitrarily set the limit at 99, which seems generous in most cases. 2000 seems very excessive to me - but I'm glad you're finding it useful :)

I have never even used the cuesheets, so 99 would be a bit too generous in my case.

Llorean:
I think the assumption is that cuesheets will be used to describe the track breakup of a ripped CD and it's extremely uncommon for CDs to have more than 99 tracks.

Even most books don't have over 100 chapters (and it's quite possible to split them into smaller files anyway, there's not generally the same reason for wanting a single-file solution) so larger cuesheets seems like an extremely special case.

linuxstb:
Yes, cuesheets were invented for describing the indexing on CDs, and CDs can only have a maximum of 99 tracks.  That's why the cuesheet limit in Rockbox is 99 - it's not arbitrary.

I expect Rockbox would be happy if you increased that limit (although the parser may assume a two-digit track number), but don't expect other cuesheet software to support them.
