The items in the [] are the default values for those settings.
The [18] tells you what it is "This number will be multiplied by MAXSENDQLENGTH.", so if you set the default 18, it'd be 18 * MAXSENDQLENGTH

Official documentation is used to setup the config file once the software is compiled and installed.
But this is related to the pre-compiling options.
Thank you

These options may increase or decrease such things as memory, CPU time, and bandwidth used by the IRCd. When Unreal runs nothing is stored on disk.

It's a
history, so naturally the number would be entries in the history.

Nope. You're pretty much supposed to read and understand the basic English in the question. If you don't know the answer, the default is used.
