That depends on how long these files are kept open.  But in theory
yes, that could happen.

Ideally sftp-server should allocate the space for handles dynamically,
so a hardcoded limit wouldn't be needed.  There are still various
limits on the number open files, but those can easily be adjusted by
the sysadmin.
