   man snmpcmd

       -r retries
              Specifies the number of retries to be used in the requests.  The
              default is 5.

       -t timeout
              Specifies the timeout in seconds between retries. The default is
              1.  Floating point numbers can be used to specify  fractions  of
              seconds.

Correct.

Nothing explicit, I don't think.
You might run into problems if you tried something larger than 2^32
but anything sensible should work OK
