Davo,
I think they are covering there backsides.
It should handle more wattage, as long as the voltage is still within its limits, I haven't over panelled the old 5048MS that I have, but realised it was holding back due to some current limit setting, it was limited to 30amp or something, it would sneak over that limit for a few seconds but not long.
I opened it up to max after I found it, I would suggest limiting the current a bit if you are going to over panel it, give it a chance to throttle it back after a cloud passes, cloud edge affect.
You only need the extra panels for bad weather anyway.
