 * Can you reset it to a much lower number – say 50?

 * since the page doesn’t load, I don’t have the option to change it.
 * is there a setting in the php or sql where the pagecount is stored?

 * It’s in the wp_usermeta table. You need to look for the edit_comments_per_page
   meta_key for your user_id (presumably 1). The meta_value associated with that
   key is the number you need to change. Just make sure that you backup your database
   before making any changes.
