255 is no hard coded issue in regards to language used (in SE4's case I think its Delphi). No programming language i know of limits anything to 255 ,which is the maximum unsigned integer in a single byte (or 8 bits). If SE4 stores system identifiers using a byte then its a limit to SE4.
The 255 system limit (should actually be 256 coz I see nothing wrong with a "zero" system) is either a design flaw in SE4 or more likely a "practical" limit so memory and perfomance doesn't get out of hand.
