That appears to be the default.  I will try increasing this.  Can I
increase it globally from a single backend, so that all other backends
pick up the change, or do I have to restart the instance?

You can change it in the config file, and send postmaster the HUP signal, which tells all backends to reload the file. "killall -HUP postmaster" or similar.
