For a given search, there is always a bound size limit, either 0 or something. For the value of 0 which means no limit, it's OK for any value of pageSize. For sizeLimit !=0, if pageSize <= sizeLimit, it's still OK, but if pageSize > sizeLimit, you would get something like this:
javax.naming.SizeLimitExceededException: [LDAP: error code 4 - Sizelimit Exceeded]; remaining name 'dc=mydomain,dc=com'

Take AD for example, its MaxPageSize = 1000 by default, which means each search cannot return results more than 1000. The problem is that you might have no idea of the value of MaxPageSize for a given LDAP server and you might accidentally set pageSize > MaxPageSize, e.g. 1500 > 1000.
AD will automatically trim the 1500 to 1000 and return only 1000 results each page. That's OK and doesn't hurts anyone.
