On Windows 7 or 8 you:

1. Open the following file in a ZIP/archive utility:
   C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Default.sublime-package

2. Extract only the file Main.sublime-menu into:
   %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Default
   (Create the folder if necessary)

   The folder is otherwise known as:
   C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Default

3. Open Main.sublime-menu (a JSON file) that you just extracted and alter the number of open_recent_folder and open_recent_file statements that appear, increasing the index each time.

       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 0 } },
       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 1 } },
       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 2 } },
       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 3 } },
       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 4 } },
       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 5 } },
       { "command": "open_recent_folder", "args": {"index": 6 } },
       ...continue as many times as necessary...
   

4. Hit save and the menu should be instantly updated. :-)

You can even move your recent file/folder list into the root "File" menu for easier access.
