Let's make sure what you are asking.

First -- that list is NOT how many files (sets of books) you can have. 
It is just a "most recently open" list. So it provides a shortcut method 
of selecting which set of books you want to open, just click on it. You 
can open others, not on the list, but you have to type in the name. I 
never found that much of a limitation even back when I was keeping more 
than four as many of these inactive most of the year.

Second --  I don't think there is a setting/preference for that (change 
the length of the last used list). You could ask for an enhancement. But 
I don't think enough people wanting to get high on the developer 
priority list. To  certain extent depends on how designed/coded, a 
matter of skill and experience. Personally, I tried to design software 
to make anything like that flexible (easy to change).

Third -- depending on why you have more than four, how you are using 
them. That list would be by "user" (login). So one work around would be 
in separate log ins.
