The allowed maximum of backup stripes is 64.
I couldn't find where this is documented in the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/welcome-sql-server , but the answer can be found in sys.messages by looking at Error Message 3205.
SELECT *
FROM sys.messages m
WHERE m.message_id = 3205
AND m.language_id = 1033; --Or your favorite language
Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only %d are allowed.
Wait, no! That isn't helpful at all! %d is a substitution string, it doesn't give me the answer.
Let's just brute force this.
Since you point out Ola's code references 64 as being too many, we can try backing up to 65 backup devices & see what happens.

Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed.
I've checked this on both Express Edition & Enterprise Edition -- both give the same answer: 64.
The error message appears to be built in a way that this number can be changed without changing the error message in sys.messages, but the number doesn't appear to be variable based on edition--at least not for the "box" product. Perhaps a cloud edition or in the future version this might change.
