MAXUID is defined in the param.h header file and NPTY is a kernel paramter.

I saw this man edquota

Quotas can be established only for users whose user ID is less than
67,000,000

or if you ask for how many users your system can handle
then

try kntune and grep for maxusers

The max UID has changed for different releases of HP-UX, so you may want to ask you question again specifying the release.
10.20 11.0 11.11 11.23
