Lon would know, but probably a value you could change and play with in the code. Am more interested in what problem you are trying to solve with the heuristics? It doesn't seem to be quorum related as the normal cman/openais capabilities will work fine with that number of nodes. If you are worried about split sites, just add an additional node to the cluster that is some other location. The node would only be used for quorum votes.
