Hmm. Now that you frame it like that, I thought I'd try and see whether the
keyboard shortcuts for navigating through desktops do obey the more than 20
rule, even if Grid and Overview don't work. Turns out they don't. But in the
process I just noticed something quite weird: If I go to the settings app, add
two more desktops over my twenty ones, apply the settings, then immediately
just switch to the KWin Scripts tab (the one above it, or perhaps any other
settings tab, actually), and return back, I see there are only twenty. It's as
if the settings app itself doesn't understand the concept of more than twenty.

>From that insight, I think the problem is somewhere in the settings app,
because if it itself doesn't register more than twenty, then of course all else
in the system won't see more than twenty either. The settings app is what
dictates how the rest of the system sees the settings, doesn't it now? At
least, that's how I see it, as a hobby programmer myself.

Just to try and carry out some further testing, can you tell me where the
settings for workspaces are stored? I know for a fact that all settings are
stored as an army of plain text config files under `~/.config` (and some KDE
apps (like the titlebar stuff) have their settings stored under
`~/.local/share`, too). Perhaps if I sidestepped the settings app and manually
modified the configuration of workspaces there by myself, I can very this
hypothesis I present?

In all cases, it's an honor to help KDE. I really want to try out this
hypothesis myself.
