why don't you pass it to your viewHelper as argument/parameter?

<xy:pagination itemsPerPage="{settings.itemsPerPage}" 
itemsTotal="{f:count(subject:myObjects)}"/>

But if you prefer to access your settings directly in your viewHelper, 
try this:
$settings = $this->templateVariableContainer->get('settings');

I'm not sure if there is any easier/better solution - but it's working.
