I had this same issue in C# code running with the Sitecore web content management system. I used Randy's answer above, but was not able to use the System get and set property functionality. Instead I retrieved the current count, incremented it, and set it back. Worked great!

catch (BooleanQuery.TooManyClauses e)
{
    // Increment the number of boolean queries allowed.
    // The default is 1024.
    var currMaxClause = BooleanQuery.GetMaxClauseCount();
    var newMaxClause = currMaxClause + 1024;
    BooleanQuery.SetMaxClauseCount(newMaxClause);
    retry = true;
}
