yes you can do whatever you want in your private branch, but it might be
wise to respect at least 1  for snmp and 2 for ldap under your
organization

I don't know ? depends on the type of the oids (32 bit integers ?)
anyway I don't think you'll reach the limits !

again I don't think there's a limit, but I guess the longer you go lower
wil be the performance !?
