At this stage of pan's beta life that number is hard-wired in this
section of code in the file header-pane.cc:

 gboolean on_row_activated_idle (gpointer pane_g)
  {
    HeaderPane * pane (static_cast<HeaderPane*>(pane_g));
    const Article * a (pane->get_first_selected_article());
    if (a) {
      const size_t lines = a->get_line_count();
      const bool is_smallish = lines  <= 5000;
      const bool is_mediumish = lines <= 20000;
      const bool image_subject = has_image_type_in_subject (*a);
      const bool is_pictures_newsgroup = pane->get_group().to_view
().strstr("pictures")!=0;
      if (is_smallish || image_subject)
        pane->_action_manager.activate_action ("read-selected-article");
      else if (is_mediumish && is_pictures_newsgroup)
        pane->_action_manager.activate_action ("read-selected-article");
      else
        pane->_action_manager.activate_action ("save-articles");
    }
    return false;
  }

If that code make sense to you then it should be an easy tweak.  If
not, then I'm afraid you're out of luck for the present unless some
geek at your work enjoys this sort of tinkering (strictly on his own
time, of course ;o)
