Does any one know if there any chance we can edit something to try out larger connection amounts than the 12 limit?
Yes. There is someone who knows and there is also a chance to edit something to try out larger connection amounts.

If every user had 100 ultrapeer connections or if every user had 3 ultrapeer connections would not change the individual search horizon (in theory at least, in the real world the network would collapse in a second). Now if most people have 3 connections and some have 100 connections those with many connections would have a much bigger search horizon reducing the search horizon of all others. - That's why I as a responsible person, am not going to tell how to do it.

However, I will give you a hint, - the answer is in the source code (only some 140.000 lines of code - to discourage you as much as possible).
