yes, ask the team at atlas at ripe.net (cc-ed).

the folks there can extend limits (not unlimited of course, these limits
are there for a reason :) ), but would need some info from you:
 - what is the experiment you'd like to perform
 - what would you want the new limit to be (and why what you want to do
can't be done with the current limits and/or existing measurements)
 - when does your experiment end (ie. when can we put the limits back to
the default)
 - promise us that you'll acknowledge RIPE Atlas in a paper
 - send us a link/copy of the paper once it's published

(i hope i'm not forgetting things :) )

cheers,
