My partitions file for a 330 Mb CDC drive on a WD 1007 controller
follows:

disk0:
    heads = 15, cyls = 1222, sectors = 35, bpsec = 512,
    vtocsec = 35, altsec = 36, boot = "/etc/boot", device = "/dev/rdsk/0s0"

(remainder deleted).

All the disk is available, so I'd say that you can get > 1024 tracks.
