Ah - because OUTER_SYSTEM_OFFPLANE positions must be both further from the sun than the planet is, and also no more than 10^7 metres from the sun, which becomes impossible if the sun distance multiplier exceeds around 150 in a system with a large planet, or around 330 in a system with a small planet.

I'll fix that now.
