I don't see any limitation in the package format. The sum of length of file and directory and attribute names must fit in the "toc" section so it's limited to 264 bytes but I doubt that's the limit you hit.

The data section offsets are encoded using a variable-length integer format so it's unlimited.

So it is more likely a bug in the package tool.

    55If HPKG format has some limitation on file count, creation should fail instead of silently creating invalid HPKG. If there are no limitation, this is a bug and it should be fixed.
