Parameter ids are UInt32s, and always have been, with the caveat that Motion restricts them to be less than 10,000. Moving to 64-bits would have changed a lot of method signatures, and it didn't seem worth the hassle since nobody should have more than 4 billion parameters (and you can't currently have even that many). The number 10,000 is a limitation that we should get rid of, but I don't know how easy that would be to do. Please file a bug if this is important to you.
If you really have the need for 64,000 parameters, I'm guessing that maybe the new dynamic parameter API would be helpful to you. It allows you to add and remove parameters outside of the -addParameters method.
Thanks,
