I haven't tried it myself but you can Go to Web Parts under Site Settings:

Download the Social Comment WebPart file (.webpart) and open it with any XML Editor. Change the WebPartPropertyDisplayItems to the number you want.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<webParts>
  <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">
    <metaData>
      ....
      <properties>
          <property name="WebPartPropertyDisplayItems" type="int">15</property>
      </properties>
    </data>
  </webPart>
</webParts>

Save the .webpart again and upload it again to the WebPart gallery, and see the results.

Unfortunately, SocialCommentWebPart class is sealed and therefore can't be inherited.

My understanding is that this property only controls how many items are displayed with a max of 10 items. If there are more items than the property value, or if there are more than 10 items, paging will be enabled.

Update: If you want to display more than 10 comments you will need to create a custom web part that reads the social comments and displays the content in the format you desire.
