This number only refers to the groups of which a user may be a member, however. In other words, you can have any number of groups, but a single user can only be a memeber of 16 of them. If you crank this up, be aware, that the number of groups you user is in will be truncated when going over NFS to 16 (BSD) or 8 (SYSV).
