Yes but the thing is we don't know the limit precisely. Eventually, as you add more and more protons and neutrons together, they stop being bound together. This is known as a Proton or Neutron dip. Idk how much 500 protons would even be like but it'd have a very very small lifetime. Micro if not nano or picoseconds.
