One thing you could do to get round the number of points limitation with the SVG renderer in Firefox would be to call simplify on the Polygon. See the simplify function here, http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/browser/trunk/openlayers/lib/OpenLayers/Geometry/LineString.js, which is based on the Douglas-Peucker algorithm. The simplify function takes a Linestring as an argument, so you would have to call simplify several times until you reach a number below 15,000 and then recreate the Polygon.
I have put an example of how to do this on jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/u6Yfg/
var polygon='POLYGON((x1 y1, x2, y2......xn,yn))'
//convert wkt to OpenLayers.Feature.Vector
var reader=new OpenLayers.Format.WKT();
var feat=reader.read(polygon);
//get initial points from feature's geometry and set target points (eg, 200 here).
var num_points=feat.geometry.components[0].components.length;
var target_points=200;
//set simplification tolerance to one meter initially
var tolerance=1;
//convert feature's geometry to linestring
var linestring=new OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString(feat.geometry.components[0].components);
var simplified_linestring;
//simplify linestring until target points reached
while(target_points<num_points){
simplified_linestring=linestring.simplify(tolerance);
num_points=simplified_linestring.components.length;
tolerance+=1;
}
alert('Number of points in simplified geometry: ' + simplified_linestring.components.length);
//create new geometry from simplified linestring
var geom=new OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon(new OpenLayers.Geometry.LinearRing(simplified_linestring.components));
