Is it possible to store some 1000+ users in a SharePoint 'person' column.

Do you mean store as in available for selection? Yes, you can store around 2000 in a group and limit the people selection to that group.

If you mean select 1000 people to put into that column, I don't know. It would be easier to select the whole group from a visual point of view whether it's possible or not

A multivalue "person" column is a multivalue lookup field which should support unlimited number of selections. How rendering will work with 1000+ users is then a completely other issue and the time it'll take to validate the 1000+ users on edit will also be a issue
