Hello Jarulf,
"Next comes the "ending" of monster placement which is where the limit of arround 185 comes in. Remember that first it places special monsters, bosses and their packs, then it loops for monsters until it gets to arround 185 (don´t remmeber the exact way, and level 1 and 2 are smaller and thus have a smaller value I think)."
Are you sure minions are placed before the common monsters? In the Dark (Hellfire) we have much more types per level (due to lower seeding sizes), and thus more bosses, in general. The bosses always appear when they should, but sometimes (pretty rare, but it happens) the number of minions is (much) lower as 8. So far, I assumed the packs are placed later, with the consequent risk of running into the limit.
