Increase JIRA REST API maxResults to 250

I'm building an internal dashboard for the oslo office and am unable to use paginated results from Jira without a non-trivial implementation in the dashboard framework.

Could the limit for search results be upped a bit? I would like to run a query for incidents opened/closed in the past two weeks, but I'm hitting a limit of 50 results returned out of a total of 130.

Jira docs suggest this can be modified: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/limiting-the-number-of-issues-returned-from-a-search-view-such-as-an-rss-feed-802593125.html?_ga=2.123992458.1493627172.1539596181-561058410.1536239109

Query used to reproduce:
issuetype = Bug AND updatedDate >= -14d AND (labels = Reported_by_support_bronze OR labels = Reported_by_support_silver OR labels = Reported_by_support_gold OR labels = Reported_by_support_standard OR labels = Reported_by_support_premium) ORDER BY affectedVersion DESC, created ASC, priority DESC, key ASC, assignee ASC

A sample JSON response is attached showing a higher total than the returned object array.
