You are starting to get into a large and murky area, beyond the obvious one of
'do not patch your original and only version'.  For a first class discussion of
many of these issues, explained in lay terms, consult the April (I believe,
otherwise March) issue of MacUser (I'm certain).  This not only describes the
patches, but discusses what else to do, and what the consequences of doing
them are.

Recently, an INIT floated across the net called 64Slots, which increased the
slots from 48 to 64.  I haven't had cause to use it, so can't swear to its
reliability in everyday usage.  There are also a number of alternatives,
including DoubleApple, which allows you to keep two apple menues.

The limit of 15 was put on because it seemed like a reasonable number from the
total of 48 resource slots (many with allocated functions) to leave a sensible
number for future expansion.  It has never been clear to me why the total was
48 rather than 64, and the appearance of 64Slots indicates that at least one
other person feels the same way.
