I don't think that the ABNF has to be perfectly prescriptive.  There
is text that covers the actual limit (2^32-1).  An exact ABNF would be
much harder to understand.

Anyone using ABNF and only ABNF to validate syntax is welcome to
construct a more precise grammar for their needs.  What is described
here is perfectly adequate for an RFC.
