You're analysis is right on; the parser uses the compiled-in value of
MAXARGS in servers/slapd/config.c for the size of the token array. This
limit is per-config file. As a short-term fix, you can either:

* bump MAXARGS up and recompile.
-or-
* break your objectclass definitions into separate files that are under the
  500-token limit. It doesn't sound like this is much of an option for you.

Someone else (read: someone with commit access :-) will have to comment on
making it changeable at runtime; it would probably have to be a command-line
argument since you've got a bit of a catch-22 if you make it a directive in
slapd.conf.
