xfs_bmap's manpage mis-describes the behavior from the -n option. xfs_io's fiemap command references the xfs_bmap manpage, and has the same problem: -n does not change the query batch size, it limits the number of extents displayed. This has been true for 15+ years, so change the documentation to match reality.
