  1. It doesn’t, in the top right under screen options it says, Show on screen, you can set this to a max of 999 ( I have never tried 999 just fyi) and you can select all, then bulk actions—>edit—>apply.

    Also I think there are plugins that do this that use direct wpdb functions, so you can effectively do it to more posts at once.
