I believe that Oracle tries to grab a number of semaphores from the operating system equal to the value of the PROCESSES parameter, on the assumption that it's going to have to have one for each process it tries to manage (this is obviously on Unix, I don't know about NT). So you can set PROCESSES as high as you want, as long as your kernel parameters are configured appropriately, taking in the requirements for all database instances on the box (as well as anything else which may require semaphores).
