I think 256 is the _default_ not the maximum.

For non-threaded servers (i.e., prefork), MaxClients translates into the
maximum number of child processes that will be launched to serve
requests. The default value is 256; to increase it, you must also raise
ServerLimit.

The Centos httpd does not seem to be compiled with anything that would
restrict that. Others may know better ....
