syntax for SetTimer function is as follows:-
UINT SetTimer( UINT nIDEvent, UINT nElapse, void (CALLBACK EXPORT* lpfnTimer)(HWND, UINT, UINT, DWORD) );

In this the 2nd parameter is the time in milliseconds after which WM_TIMER message is sent.

Now my query is that what is the maximum limitation on the value of the second parameter(nElapse)?

The limit of UINT on the system and if int is of 4 bytes then the limit of UINT become 2^32 - 1 = 4294967295
