I'm personally willing to write code to make it so if rmmproc exceeds
MAXARGS it will run rmmproc multiple times.

Or bail out and let the user do that manually?  Is this something
that people do often?  Personally, if I tried to rmm a large number
of messages, it would be a mistake.

Anybody who subscribes to the Linux-kernel list is going to be
deleting about 700 messages a day.  So if you took a 3-day weekend
you can be looking at 2,000+ messages to delete.  exmh has some
special-case code that does it in chunks of 998 messages at a time.
