This range has not been changed since "preallocated small integer pool" was introduced:

#define NSMALLPOSINTS	257
#define NSMALLNEGINTS	5

The commit (Jan 2007):
https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/ddefaf31b366ea84250fc5090837c2b764a04102


Is it worth increase the range?
FYI, build with MSVC 2017, the `small_ints` size:

32-bit build:
    sizeof(PyLongObject)    16 bytes
    sizeof(small_ints)    4192 bytes

64-bit build:
    sizeof(PyLongObject)    32 bytes
    sizeof(small_ints)    8384 bytes
