Sorry, can't imagine why anyone would want to configure a UNIX kernel for more 64,000 concurrent processes.
What you are basically saying is that an administrator
could do a 'ps -aux' command to look at the process table
and would see 64,000 processes!
With the inexpensive price of CPUs, memory, disks, etc.
this is simply not a practical way to set up any platform.
But,to answer your question, albeit indirectly, there are normally formulas for kernel parameters associated with the OS. You can't just 'increase processes' without lowering another value i.e. 'file descriptors' or perhaps other kernel parameters (don't have the formulas handy, sorry).
The README files in the kernel configuration directory tree should have the formulas. Could you post these formulas?

pmcstudy
PMC_COUNTER_STUDY(1) BSD General Commands Manual PMC_COUNTER_STUDY(1)
NAME
pmc_counter_study -- Perform various study's on a systems overall PMC's.
SYNOPSIS
pmc_counter_study
DESCRIPTION
The pmc_counter_study The pmc_counter_study program is designed to run various tests against your systems performance. There are roughly
20-22 canned tests that setup specific PMC's and then run various formulas on the output information. These formulas can be found in Intel
documentation "Using Intel Vtune amplifier xe on NNN Generation Intel Core Processors". The NNN is either 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation i.e.
Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell. Currently the program only works on these three Intel processor types. You can see the complete list
of formula's by running the program with the -H option. If you know a formula name you can run it by typing -e name. If you know a name and
want what the formula is you can run the program with -e name -h and the program will not run but it will tell you what that name will do (if
known). The -T option can be used to test all PMC's that are known to your system. When running a test you will want to specify -m N where N
is the number of 1 second samples to collect and analize (it bounds the time the test runs). Finally for those that have there own ideas on
what formulas that you want to run you can type your own formula in with -E "formula". The formula can declare directly the PMC's by name or
you can use an abbreviation %NNN. To find out the abbreviations on your system you may run pmc_counter_study -L and it will tell you each PMC
name and the abbreviation you can use. An example of a formula of your own might be -E "FP_ASSIST.ANY / INST_RETIRED.ANY_P" <or short hand on
Haswell> -E " %176 / %150". You must have spaces between each entry and you may use paraenthisis to prioritize the operators. Add (+), Sub-
tract (-1), Divide (/) and Multiplication (*) is supported. You may also introduce constant numbers as well. So for example you can do a
standard efficency test like -E "UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS / (4 * CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_P)".
