As far as I can see (testing that is) it's not 22 but rather 25.

grepping for "25" in the EXT dam_frontend leads to:
   dam_frontend/ext_tables.php

which apparently defines:
   $tempColumns = Array (
	"tx_damdownloadlist_records" => Array (		
		"exclude" => 0,		
		"label" => 
"LLL:EXT:dam_frontend/locallang_db.php:tt_content.tx_damdownloadlist_records", 
	
		"config" => Array (
			"type" => "group",	
			"internal_type" => "db",	
			"allowed" => "tx_dam",	
			"size" => 10,	
			"minitems" => 1,
			"maxitems" => 25,

So you can define the number of max-items in with a simple line like:
 
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['tx_damdownloadlist_records']['config']['maxitems'] 
= 50;
which you would put into you custom extension containing only a file 
called ext_tables.php.
Then load your custom extension AFTER the EXT dam_frontend and off you 
go with 50 elements.
