No. The buffers are dynamically allocated and there is no limit other
than that imposed by the memory available on the system. I just tried
it with 128K points and got the expected result.

Can you provide a simple piece of example code which exhibits this
behavior?

Not particularly surprising, since clipping is performed by just
testing each point against the range and discarding any points outside
the range.
