VST3 sonobus plugin - instead of 18 ports, could it be increased to 27 ports showing in JACK connection bay

[Chuck Vaughn (aa0hw)]

special use case with 27 individual input audio sources needing to be sent in ONE STREAM

the ADD option does not increase the amount of ports showing in JACK, 

remains at 18 only input ports...

just curious if it is possible to go beyond the 18 input port current limit ?

if so...how to modify to accomplish...
