there are other limits - time limits and memory limits within php -
undoubtedly you are running in to them with your fairly perverse usage.

Suggest you experiment searching these same large searches using
ldapsearch from the command line and making certain that it can be done
by your ldap setup. You can capture this to a file to get a handle on
the amounts of memory required to contain the results.

Then, when that is working, you might look at the memory / maximum post
sizes of php and increase them as needed.

It would seem that your usage requires efforting on your part as it is
doubtful that people are doing this.
