The default number of contexts allowed is 50.  You can change that by
setting the internal parameter ?connumber (the question mark indicates that
it is internal), e.g.

       ?connumber : 500 $

I am not sure why there is this limit -- perhaps it is to help users catch
bugs, or perhaps the algorithms Maxima uses are not efficient for large
numbers of contexts.
