The original firmware has 15 values, 10 of them are stored in a simple array that is easy to change, the other 5 values are constructed in an unnecessarily complicated way and changing them requires a more complicated patch that rewrites some of the code in a more compact form to make room for the simple array to be extended.

It might be possible to have more than 15, I haven't tried it, but it would require a patch that rewrites the code in an even more compact form to make room for a bigger array. I think this could be done and there might be room for 20 or 25 values, but it is not a trivial thing to do.
