What should be the maximum number of entries in a bundle for batch/transaction?
An infinite number of entries can cause problems!

I think that having an infinite number is probably too much

so then infinity - 1

yes, that would be one less then definitely too much - more like probably too much still

Epic generally stops at 1,000, but for some resources that are large or particularly intensive to generate we'll go lower than that.

It'll have to be context-specific. There'll be some use-cases where 100k is reasonable and others where you might need to tap out at less than 100. Think about what your clients are likely going to need and see what your server can reasonably handle.

my server stops when it goes bang - I've never tested it's limit

Spec should say something about that.

well, it does, in the general sense: servers are free to (and need to) impose whatever limits they need to for performance / stability
