There is practically no limit although the spec specifies a minimum 
"grand-total" that an implementation must support.
In any case none of those limits where devised for the responses to the 
SendTargets but rather for "parameter" type of text.
For Sendtarget the initiator will fill whatever DataBase or Screen it 
needs and
the initiator "paces" the reception of responses through its Text commands 
according to its "absorption capability".

Maximum size of text response






The spec says that immediate data size in a Text Response
MUST not exceed MaxRecvDataSegmentLength. If the response
for, say "SendTargets=All" command, cannot be sent in one PDU,
the target can spread it across multiple PDUs (setting
F bit to 0 in all but the last PDU).
 
In this case, the spec doesn't say what the maximum
cumulative size of all the PDUs can be (or am I missing it)? 
 
If there a limit on the maximum datasize, which parameter 
determines that - MaxBurstLength?
 
thanks!
