I would suggest sending OpenLDAP usage questions to 
openldap-software at openldap.org.

I will note that the limits command works just fine for me in the areas I 
use it, for example:

# Let the ispace prinicpal have a search of 5000 entries
limits dn.exact="cn=abcd,cn=Service,cn=Applications,dc=stanford,dc=edu" 
time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size.soft=5000 size.hard=5000
