The limit is actually context-specific, at least as used in the "no more than" context. When people die in Umineko they don't count as people anymore, so Beatrice's limit by its very nature applicable only at its maximum limit before any deaths occur.
It's actually the ep6 Battler/Beatrice red that's odd, as it's basically spoken out of context. It can't apply to the current game, because five people (at least) are dead. So the number isn't 17 + 5 or we'd have Person X all over again. It must be intended to mean some sort of absolute that is independent of the previously stated "no more than" count in which dead people aren't counted. Perhaps implied is the "on the game board in general," but I can't be sure.
