IIRC limit for root directory entry was only in FAT12 and FAT16. But I
already used subdirectories. Also VFAT name occupies at least two
entries (shortname + VFAT).

Interesting... When I tried to create a new file by Linux vfat in that
directory where Windows created 32794 files, Linux vfat returned error
"No space left on device" even FS has only 39% used space. Into upper
directory linux vfat can put new file without any problem.
